Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham crumbs (about 240 grams)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (112 grams), melted
- 15-ounce can pumpkin puree (just under 2 cups)
- 2/3 cup heavy cream (120 ml)
- 24 ounces cream cheese (680 grams)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (110 grams)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (105 grams)
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, mix together the graham crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Add Butter: Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press into Pan: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or your hands to ensure it is even and well packed.
- Chill: Place the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- Mix Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Sugars and Spices: Gradually add in the powdered sugar and brown sugar, mixing until fully combined.
- Incorporate Pumpkin: Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until everything is well combined.
- Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the pumpkin cheesecake filling over the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes or preferably overnight to let it set.
Notes
For the best flavor and texture, use brick-style, full-fat cream cheese. This cheesecake is best enjoyed chilled.
