Equipment

  • Springform Pan
  • Food Processor
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS
  • 0.5 cup MELTED BUTTER
  • 24 oz CREAM CHEESE
  • 1 cup GRANULATED SUGAR
  • 1 cup PUMPKIN PUREE
  • 3 large EGGS
  • 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
  • 1 tbsp PUMPKIN PIE spice
  • 0.25 cup SOUR CREAM

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line your pan with parchment paper now.

Step 2:

  • Crush the crackers in your food processor. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter.

Step 3:

  • Press the crumbs into the pan bottom. Use a flat cup to press them down.

Step 4:

  • Bake the crust for ten minutes only. Let the crust cool down on the counter.

Step 5:

  • Beat the cream cheese and sugar together. Use medium speed on your electric mixer.

Step 6:

  • Add the pumpkin puree and the spices. Mix until the color is bright orange.

Step 7:

  • Add the eggs one at a time. Mix very slowly after adding each egg.

Step 8:

  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with your rubber spatula.

Step 9:

  • Bake the cake for sixty minutes total. The edges should look very firm.

Step 10:

  • The center should still jiggle a little. Turn off the oven and open the door.

Step 11:

  • Let the cake sit inside for one hour. This prevents the top from cracking.

Step 12:

  • Cool the cake on the counter completely. Place it in the fridge overnight.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for a smooth batter.
Do not overmix the batter after adding eggs.
Always use plain pumpkin and not pie filling.
Grease the pan sides for easy cake removal.
A water bath helps prevent top surface cracks.
Let the cake cool slowly in the oven.
Chill the cheesecake for at least six hours.
Use a hot knife to cut clean slices.
