  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • oven
  • medium bowl
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • large bowl
  • electric mixer
  • wire rack

Method
 

Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C); then, in a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar.
Baking the Crust
  1. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and then add the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, mixing until well combined.
Baking the Cheesecake
  1. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until just combined.
Final Steps
  1. Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
Cooling and Chilling
  1. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour, then remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

For best results, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon before serving for an enhanced presentation and flavor.
