Every year I make this cheesecake and everyone loves it! It's the perfect mix between pumpkin and cheesecake. I got my recipe from my Treasury of TOP Secret Recipes. I love making this cheesecake despite the crack that always happens. I really could care less about this I care more for the ohh's and ahh's I get from it when people try it.
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
5 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. sugar
3 80z. pkg. of 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup pumpkin puree (see my note in the pumpkin pie recipe)
3 eggs
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Preheat oven to 350. Make the crust by combining the first 3 ingredients, stirring well enough to coat all the crumbs with butter. Press the crumbs onto the bottom of a springform pan. Bake the crust for 5 min.
In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Mix with an elevtric mixer until smooth. Add the pumpkin, egges and pumpkin pie spice and continue to beat until smooth and creamy. Pour batter into the pan. Bake for 60-70 min. The top will be a bit darker at this point. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool. When the cake has come to room temp. place in the fridge. Serve with whipped topping or some other kind of topping.
Enjoy!
