How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Dairy And Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the crust:
  3. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  4. Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter.
  5. In a food processor, pulse 1 ½ cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs until fine.
  6. Add the melted butter and mix until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely.
  8. Prepare the filling:
  9. Bring a kettle of water to a boil for the water bath.
  10. In a large bowl, beat 2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  11. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  12. Stir in 1 cup sour cream until smooth.
  13. Add 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and mix until incorporated.
  14. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  15. Gradually add the egg mixture to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  16. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
  17. Wrap the springform pan tightly in aluminum foil.
  18. Place the pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  19. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  20. Turn off the oven, prop the oven door slightly open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for another 30 minutes.
  21. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  22. Run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan.
  23. Refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to firm up completely.
  24. Enjoy!
