Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 7 tablespoons butter melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- cooking spray
- whipped cream and sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9" springform pan with cooking spray.
- Place the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar and butter in a bowl; stir to combine.
- Firmly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.
- Place the crust in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown.
- Place the cream cheese and brown sugar in the bowl of a mixer. Beat until completely smooth, 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Add the pumpkin puree, flour, vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until just combined.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the baked crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for another 60 minutes.
- Run a thin spatula around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen the sides, then place the cheesecake in the fridge. Chill for at least 6 hours or up to 3 days.
- Decorate the cheesecake with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired, then cut into slices and serve.
Notes
- Be sure to use pumpkin puree, and not canned pumpkin pie filling. The pie filling will not work in this recipe. You can also make your own pumpkin puree.
- Your cream cheese should be very soft to keep your batter from getting lumpy. You can microwave your cream cheese for 30 second increments to soften it quickly.
- Add sprinkles them at the last minute before serving to prevent the colors from running into the white whipped cream.
