Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients to prepare this delicious cheesecake:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Follow these simple steps for a scrumptious cheesecak:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and all the spices. Mix until the batter is creamy and fluffy.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cheesecake for about 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the oven door, allowing the cheesecake to cool down gradually for 1 hour.
After it cools, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Once chilled, remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve your Ultimate Pumpkin Cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream if desired!

Enjoy this decadent dessert that captures the essence of fall with every beautiful slice. It’s sure to be a hit at any gathering and can become a treasured recipe in your household!
