Pumpkin Cheesecake

Pumpkin Cheesecake combines a gingersnap cookie crust with a pumpkin and cream cheese filling seasoned with pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. The pumpkin puree is cooked to reduce moisture before blending with cream cheese and other ingredients for a smooth batter. Baking in a water bath produces a creamy, evenly set cheesecake with autumnal flavors and a spiced crunchy base.
