Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on low speed until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Gently pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the cheesecake pie for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when shaken.
Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracks.
Once the pie has cooled, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Before serving, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until it forms soft peaks. Optionally, sweeten with powdered sugar to taste.
Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish, if desired. Slice and serve.
