How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups (150g) gingersnap cookie crumbs, 2 tablespoons (20g) granulated sugar, and 3 1/2 tablespoons (52g) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  5. **Make the filling:** In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages (227g each) of softened cream cheese with 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in 3/4 cup (177g) sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract for another 3 minutes.
  6. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth.
  7. Stir in 1 cup (245g) canned pumpkin puree and 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice.
  8. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  10. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
  13. Garnish with ground cinnamon, whipped cream, nutmeg, and/or toasted pecans, if desired.
