Ingredients

10 inch springform pan

For crust:

1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs

Use digestive biscuit crumbs if not living in the U.S.

8 tablespoons butter, melted

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For cake:

2 1/2 pounds cream cheese

1 cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs, lightly beaten

3 egg yolks, lightly beaten

3 tablespoons all -purpose flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 pound mashed pumpkin

Directions

Preheat oven for 350 degrees

Place the graham cracker or digestive biscuit crumbs in a bowl and mix with melted butter and sugar.

Blend well.

Grease the bottom and partly up the sides of the springform pan.

Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom and partly up the sides of the pan.

Smooth the crumb mixture along the bottom to an even thickness.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Cool before filling.

For the cake preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and yolks.

Add the flour, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.

Beat in the cream and the vanilla.

Add the mashed pumpkin.

Beat at medium speed on an electric mixer until just mixed thoroughly.

Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 275.

Bake for an additional hour.

Turn off the heat, but leave the cake in the oven overnight to cool.

This is to prevent the cake from cracking.

I love pumpkin cheesecake - I make them at the holidays instead of pumpkin pie. This recipe looks great.

I think you will definitely like this recipe Sunny. I only make a pumpkin cheesecake at Thanksgiving now for the dessert. Since the recipe is for a 10 inch springform pan the dessert feeds a large crowd.
