  • 1 refrigerator

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 24 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a mixing bowl.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.

  • Pour the pumpkin mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes until the center is set.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge to loosen the sides.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin mixing, as this helps in achieving a smoother cheesecake texture. Additionally, avoid overmixing after adding the eggs to prevent air bubbles and cracks in the cheesecake. If desired, serve with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
