Dessert Before Dinner Ep.4
Pumpkin Cheesecake
A rich, creamy fall classic with spiced pumpkin filling over a buttery graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Crust:
* 1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
* 10 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
* 1 Tbsp sugar
* 1 tsp salt
Filling:
* 4 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
* 1 ½ cups sugar
* 3 large eggs
* 2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
* 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
 * Preheat to 325°F.
2. Make the Crust
 * Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
 * Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Wrap the outside of the pan with a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil, bringing it all the way up the sides to prevent leaks.
3. Prepare Filling
 * Beat softened cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
 * Add sugar and pumpkin pie spice; mix until fully incorporated. (Tip: softened cream cheese makes the filling smooth and lump-free).
 * Add eggs one at a time, beating on low just until combined after each addition.
 * Mix in pumpkin puree, then vanilla extract, until just combined.
 * Finally, stir in the heavy cream on low speed until smooth.
4. Bake the Cheesecake
 * Pour filling into the cooled crust.
 * Bake for about 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest inside with the door closed for 1 hour. (Baking time may vary by oven.)
5. Chill & Serve
 * Cool completely, then refrigerate overnight for best results.
 * Slice, serve, and enjoy!

✨ Optional: Top with whipped cream or candied pecans for extra flair.
