Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs Use finely crushed for best texture.
  • 0.5 cups Granulated sugar Adds sweetness to the crust.
  • 0.5 cups Unsalted butter Melted for easier mixing.
  • 3 packages Cream cheese Room temperature for easier blending.
  • 1 cup Pumpkin puree Use pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • 1 cups Sour cream For a creamy texture.
  • 1 cups Granulated sugar In the filling for sweetness.
  • 3 large Eggs Bring to room temperature.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Enhances overall flavor.
  • 1.5 tsp Pumpkin pie spice Adds warm spice notes.
  • 0.25 tsp Salt Balances the sweetness.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create a crust.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, sour cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until everything is well blended and creamy.
  • Pour this luscious pumpkin filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Spread it evenly and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly wobbly.
  • Once done, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour. This helps prevent cracking. After that, remove it from the oven and chill it in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or overnight if you can wait!
  • When ready to serve, carefully release the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake. Top with whipped cream and perhaps a sprinkle of cinnamon for a festive touch!

Notes

This cheesecake is great for fall gatherings or holiday meals, and it can be made a day in advance, which makes it perfect for busy hosts!
