  • Gingersnap Crumbs
  • Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • Unsalted Butter
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

  • Allspice

How to Make Aimbrulee S Ultimate Pumpkin Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Wrap the springform pan tightly in heavy-duty foil to create a waterproof seal.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and pumpkin puree until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  7. Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
  8. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is slightly jiggly.
  9. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
  10. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Once completely cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
