How to Make Pumpkin Maple Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ½ cup (1 stick) melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Beat 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk and beat until well combined.
  5. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, ½ cup maple syrup, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared crust.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly when shaken gently. (If using a 13x9 inch pan, bake for 50-60 minutes).
  8. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  10. Prepare the pecan maple glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup maple syrup and ½ cup heavy cream. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until thickened.
  11. Stir in ½ cup chopped pecans.
  12. Before serving, pour the pecan maple glaze over the chilled cheesecake.
  13. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or extra pecans, if desired.
