How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Cpk

  1. **Make the Crust:**
  2. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup granulated sugar in a food processor.
  3. Pulse until combined.
  4. With the food processor running, slowly pour in ¼ cup melted unsalted butter through the feed tube. Process until a soft mass forms.
  5. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  6. **Make the Cheesecake Filling:**
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. In a large bowl, beat 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed.
  9. Add ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and beat until well combined.
  10. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cardamom, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  11. Gradually add the spice mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating until just combined.
  12. Beat in 1 cup sour cream until smooth.
  13. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl.
  14. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree until just combined.
  15. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  16. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet (to catch any spills).
  17. Bake for 1 hour.
  18. Gently jiggle the pan. If the center is still slightly jiggly, bake for another 10-20 minutes, checking every 5 minutes, until set but not overbaked.
  19. Let cool completely to room temperature on a wire rack.
  20. Refrigerate overnight before serving. Top with whipped cream before serving (optional).
