Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Gingersnap Crust:
-
Pour crumbs into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and melted butter and stir to combine.
-
Cover the outside bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with foil, securing the foil partway up the outer sides of the pan.
-
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and about half way up the sides of the springform pan.
-
Bake the crust for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside while making the cheesecake filling.
Pumpkin Cheesecake:
-
In a large mixing bowl combine the room temperature cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.
-
Add the pumpkin, eggs, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg and mix until smooth, but don’t over mix. Pour the filling into the prepared pan.
-
Grab a pan that’s larger than the cheesecake pan and fill it with about ½-inch of water, to make a water bath.
-
Place the cheesecake pan inside the dish with the water.
-
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the sides of the cheesecake have just set and the center is just barely jiggly.
-
Remove it from the oven (it will continue to bake as it cools). Remove the tinfoil and allow the cheesecake to cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
-
Once cooled, cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.
-
When the cheesecake has chilled in the fridge, remove the pan sides.
-
Serve with caramel sauce and whipped cream on top, if desired. Enjoy!
