Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs, finely crushed
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup (240g) canned pumpkin puree
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Instructions
Start by mixing your graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in the melted butter and stir until it’s like wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it’s super smooth. Add in the pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract; mix until everything’s blended.
Whip your heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this into your pumpkin mixture with a spatula.
Spread the filling over your crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover it up and pop it into the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Once it’s chilled, run a knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform. Slice it up and serve with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
For best results, make the cheesecake the night before serving.
Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer texture.
Do not overwhip the cream to avoid turning it into butter.
