Ingredients You Need for Cheesecake Factory Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

For the Crust:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar

For the Filling:

• 3 packages cream cheese (8 oz each), softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

For Topping:

• Whipped cream
• Cinnamon powder

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.

2. Bake the Crust

Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool completely. This step helps the crust stay firm.

3. Prepare the Filling Base

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. The mixture should be creamy without lumps.

4. Add Pumpkin and Spices

Add pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Mix slowly until well combined. The color will turn rich orange.

5. Add Eggs and Cream

Add eggs one at a time. Mix gently after each egg. Pour in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Do not overmix the batter.

6. Pour into Pan

Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.

7. Bake the Cheesecake

Place the pan in the oven. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The center should be slightly soft but set.

8. Cool Slowly

Turn off the oven and leave the door slightly open. Let the cheesecake cool inside for one hour. This prevents cracks.

9. Chill Before Serving

Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Chilling helps the cheesecake firm up properly.

10. Add Toppings and Serve

Top with whipped cream and sprinkle cinnamon. Slice carefully and serve cold for best flavor.
