Description
Pumpkin cheesecake is a grand Christmas favorite, a nice alternative to traditional pumpkin pie. This cheesecake is absolutely wonderful. It's better than regular pumpkin pie, because it doesn't have a really strong pumpkin taste.
Ingredients
- 21 oz cream cheese
- 3⁄4 c sugar
- 3 T brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- pn nugmeg
- 1⁄4 c flour
- 1 c pureed pumpkin
- 1 t cinnamon
- 1⁄4 c whole cream
- 1⁄2 t vanilla
- Butter
- graham crackers
Instructions
Crush the graham crackers and mix with butter in the cake pan to create the crust. Let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour.
Cream the cheese with the sugars with an electric mixer or by hand if you'd like the exercise. It should be creamy and fluffy.
Add the eggs one by one folding well into the mixture. After the eggs have been mixed in, add the cream and vanilla.
In a separate bowl sift flour with cinnamon, nutmeg. Mix in the pumpkin puree.
Add the pumpkin mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir together until smooth.
Pour the mixture into your cake pan and set in a shallow pan filled with water. The water should come up to less than half of the cake pan. Place in an oven that's been preheated to 350 degrees F.
Bake until a knife comes out clean. Let sit until it comes to room temperature and store in the refrigerator. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.
