Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Let cool.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, and spices. Mix in pumpkin puree. Add eggs one at a time until just blended.
3. Pour filling over the crust. Smooth the top.
4. Mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the filling.
5. Bake 55–65 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
Let the cream cheese come to room temperature for a smoother batter.
Don’t overmix after adding eggs to avoid air bubbles and cracking.
Use a hot, clean knife for neat cheesecake slices.
