Pumpkin Cheesecake
Ready to feast your eyes on this delightful dessert? Here it is:
Now that you’re drooling, let’s gather the ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Trust me, the last thing you want is a stuck cheesecake. Nobody likes a caged cake!
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan. Think of it as building the foundation of your cheesecake mansion!
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in sugar and mix until fully combined. Nobody wants a lumpy cheesecake, unless you’re going for the “rustic” look.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk until everything is blended like your best dance moves at a party!
- Pour this pumpkiny goodness over your crust in the springform pan. It’s like a warm hug during fall!
- Bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still jiggly. Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours. (I know, the wait is rough, but good things come to those who wait!)
- Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice it up. Top it with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for that extra pizzazz!
Voilà! You have a delicious pumpkin cheesecake that’s just begging for some forks to dive in. Share it with friends, family, or keep it all to yourself – we won’t judge! Happy baking!
