Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake

Perfect for the holidays. Whether you use canned or fresh pumpkin is totally up to you.

Served in a graham cracker deep dish crust this cheesecake is large enough to serve 16 people. The Thanksgiving crowd will all have a chance to have a piece.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

  • 1 deep dish graham cracker crust
  • 4 pkg (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 can 15 oz pumpkin 
  • 1 Tbs pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional Garnish can be whipped cream, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce or nuts.

These are the INSTRUCTIONS For preparation:

  • Heat oven to 325°F.
  • Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add pumpkin, spice and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over graham cracker crust crust.
  • Bake 1 hour 20 min. to 1 hour 30 min. or until center is almost set. Let cool. Refrigerate cheesecake 4 hours.
  • Garnish can be whipped cream, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce or nuts.

NOTES

How to Use Fresh Pumpkin: Substitute 1 cup mashed cooked cut-up fresh pumpkin for the canned pumpkin. Prepare crust and cheesecake filling as directed, adding 3 Tbsp. flour with the cream cheese, and 1 container (8 oz.) BREAKSTONE’S OR KNUDSEN Sour Cream with the pumpkin. Pour filling over crust. Bake in 325ºF oven 1 hour 15 min. or until center of cheesecake is almost set. Continue as directed.

Test Cheesecake Doneness: To avoid overbaking a cheesecake, check for doneness at the minimum baking time by gently shaking the pan. If the cheesecake is done, the edge should be slightly puffed. It will be set except for a small area in the center that will be soft and jiggly.

Soften Cream Cheese: Place completely unwrapped package of cream cheese in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 10 sec. or just until softened. Add 15 sec. for each additional package of cream cheese.

I enjoy this cheesecake and you will too!

To avoid overbaking a cheesecake, check for doneness at the minimum baking time by gently shaking the pan. If the cheesecake is done, the edge should be slightly puffed and it will be set except for a small area in the center that will be soft and jiggly. Do not insert a knife into the center as this may cause the cheesecake to crack during cooling.
Soften Cream Cheese
Place completely unwrapped package of cream cheese in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 10 sec. or just until softened. Add 15 sec. for each additional package of cream cheese.

    Pumpkin and cheesecake always make a great combination! I made a double layer pumpkin cheesecake the other day (the cheesecake and the pumpkin were separate layers) and I got 1 piece of it. The family ate the rest on me before I could have another piece!

    Definitely have to try your cheesecake, it looks delicious 🙂 I wish I could hide it tho haha!

      I hear you about not getting a piece. I make my family wait until I get a photo or two before they can eat. They repay me by being ravenous. I have a few cheesecakes in here that are pumpkin or in layers. Those are the best of both worlds. Enjoy!
