Ingredients:

  • For the Crust:
    • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Filling:
    • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
    • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
    • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1/4 cup sour cream
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • For Serving:
    • Whipped cream

Directions:

1. Preparing the Crust:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly onto the bottom of the prepared pan.

2. Making the Filling:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add brown sugar and mix until combined.
  2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in sour cream, flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until smooth.
  3. Pour the filling over the crust in the pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

3. Baking:

  1. Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  2. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.

4. Cooling and Serving:

  1. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door closed for 1 hour.
  2. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen. Allow it to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Serve slices of cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream.
