Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until well incorporated.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree, followed by the eggs one at a time.
- Finally, stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Baking
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.
- Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually.
- Once it reaches room temperature, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Notes
Feel free to get creative with toppings like whipped cream or candied pecans. Cheesecake can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
