Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Mix until the consistency resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring that it is evenly spread. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the cream cheese, and mix thoroughly.
Mix in the pumpkin puree, sour cream, and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating briefly after each addition. Do not overmix.
Sift in the flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves. Add the vanilla extract and mix until everything is combined.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 80-90 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when shaken.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door cracked open for 1 hour to cool gradually.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen it. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, optionally garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
