Best Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

This is one of the best pumpkin cheesecake recipes I make, because it's so simple and so tasty. This pumpkin cheesecake makes an excellent dessert for Halloween or Thanksgiving

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
  • whipped cream for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.

  2. With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy.

  3. Beat in pumpkin puree, sour cream, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and eggs until smooth.

  4. Pour filling into graham cracker crust. Bake 50-60 minutes until just set (filling will still be a little jiggly in the center).

  5. Turn off oven and leave pumpkin cheesecake inside for 1 hour.

  6. Remove from oven, let cool completely. Refrigerate 3 hours.
Serve pumpkin cheesecake pie topped with whipped cream.

Makes 8 servings.
