Description

This is the creamiest and dreamiest pumpkin cheesecake you’ll ever make! It has a gingersnap cookie crust and is perfectly spiced with cinnamon and cardamom.


Ingredients

  • 1&1/4 cups (150g) gingersnap cookie crumbs
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) melted butter
  • 3250g packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (245g) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pumpkin spice (or 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cloves, 1/4 tsp nutmeg)
  • 1 tsp (5ml) cardamom spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F and set aside a 9″ springform pan.
  2. Mix the cookie crumbs and butter together. Press onto the bottom of the springform pan.
  3. Using and electric mixer, blend the cream cheese and sugar until combined.
  4. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well in between. Then add in the pumpkin and spices. Mix again until smooth. Gently pour over crust.
  5. Place pan on top of a baking sheet to prevent any drippings from burning onto the bottom of your oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is almost set. You want 2-3 inches of the center to still be jiggly because it will firm up as it cools.
  6. Run a thin knife along the sides to loosen the edges from the pan. Leave the cheesecake in the pan to cool completely. Then chill in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight.

Notes

Top with some sweetened whipped cream or caramel sauce if desired.
