Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Wrap double layer of foil around outside of 10 or 11 inch spring-form pan. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter and press onto bottom of pan. Bake until crust is slightly golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool while preparing filling.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add pumpkin and remaining ingredients. Beat just until blended. Pour filling into prepared crust. Place spring-form pan in large roasting pan. Add enough water to come halfway up sides of spring-form pan. Bake cheesecake until slightly puffed, softly set, and golden on top, about 1 1/2 hours (depending on oven - cheesecake should be cooked through at this point).
  • While cheesecake is baking, mix the ingredients for the sour cream topping with a wire whisk until blended. Remove cheesecake from water bath, leaving water bath in oven, and spread sour cream mixture evenly over top. Return cake to water bath and bake 5 to 10 minutes longer, depending on your oven.
  • Transfer spring-form pan to rack, discarding foil. Using knife, cut around sides of pan to prevent cracking during cooling. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake at least 6 hours, or overnight, until cooled. Dust with cinnamon and/or nutmeg for a garnish. Remove side of pan to serve.

    Sure, mumtaz... There are 8 ounces in a cup, so a 15 ounce can of pumpkin is one ounce short of 2 cups.
