How to make it
- CRUST:
- Take the cookies (reserving some for munchies, of course!!) and crunch into almost powder, leaving some bigger pieces.
- Add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and both sugars.
- After mixing well, add melted butter.
- Form into pan of choice (we used spring-form) and press smooth on bottom and up on sides (about 1”).
- Place in freezer for 30 minutes, move to refrigerator until ready to use.
- FILLING:
- Preheat oven to 325°.
- Beat egg yolks until they thicken and are no longer bright yellow (the color of lemons).
- Add pumpkin mixture, flour, salt, 1/4 cup plus 1/8 cup Splenda and vanilla, beat well.
- Add cream cheese, 1/4 lb. at a time, and beat smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until they are foamy, add remaining Splenda and beat until they are stiff and shiny.
- Add to cream cheese mixture, folding in.
- Pour into crust, smoothing top.
- Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until no longer wobbly in center. Remove immediately and let cool.
- Add the reserved pie crust mixture by sprinkling all over top of cheesecake.
- When cool enough to handle, remove from pan and place in freezer for 30 minutes, store in refrigerator until time to serve.
