Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Pour the filling over the prepared crust.
  • Bake for 60 minutes or until the center is almost set. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least 3 hours to set.

Notes

  • To avoid cracks in the cheesecake, do not overbake. The center should still jiggle slightly when you remove it from the oven.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation.
  • For a more intense pumpkin flavor, you can add extra pumpkin pie spice or a pinch of ground cinnamon.
