Components:
- For the Crust of Graham Crackers:
- Twelve Graham crackers
- Five teaspoons of melted butter
- Two tablespoons of sugar
- For filling the cheesecake:
- 16 ounces of softened cream cheese
- A half-cup of white sugar
- Half a cup of packed brown sugar
- One fifteen-oz can of pumpkin puree
- Double tsp vanilla extract
- One tablespoon of spice for pumpkin pie
- Heavy whipping cream (16 ounces)
Directions:
Get the Graham Cracker Crust ready.
- Crush the graham crackers: Grind the crackers into tiny crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin and a plastic bag.
- To make the crust, combine the melted butter, white sugar, and crumbled graham crackers in a bowl.
- Create the crust: Grease a 9-inch springform pan or cake pan. Firmly press the graham cracker mixture into the pan’s bottom.
- Chill the crust: To set, put the crust in the fridge for about half an hour.
Get the cheesecake filling ready.
- To make the cheesecake foundation, combine the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl and beat until light and creamy.
- Incorporate the pumpkin and spices: Mix in the pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until well blended.
- Beat the cream: Beat the heavy cream in a another dish until it forms firm peaks. (Tip: The cream will whip up more readily if you use an ice-cold bowl and whisk.)
- Add the whipped cream and fold gently until the whipped cream is completely combined with the pumpkin mixture.
Put the cheesecake together:
- Fill the crust: Evenly cover the chilled graham cracker crust with the pumpkin cheesecake filling.
- Chill: Put the cheesecake in the fridge for two to three hours, or until it sets completely.
Serve:
- Before serving, garnish with more whipped cream if you’d like.
Remarks:
- Crust Variation: Crushed Oreos or any other cookie can be used for the crust if you’d like.
- Whipped Cream Tip: While whipping the cream, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar for a more stable whipped cream.
- Storage: You can keep leftovers in the fridge for four to five days.
