Equipment

  • 1 9-inch springform pan
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Electric mixer
  • 1 Rubber spatula
  • 1 measuring cup set
  • 1 measuring spoon set
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl and press into the pan to form the crust.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
  • Add pumpkin puree, sugar, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, and mix until well combined.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan.
  • Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes or until the center is set.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • For an extra creamy texture, ensure that all ingredients, especially the cream cheese, are at room temperature before beginning the process. When mixing the filling, avoid over-beating to prevent air bubbles and cracks in the cheesecake. For a festive touch, top the cheesecake with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
