Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix until well combined.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use homemade caramel sauce.
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
This cheesecake can be made a day in advance for better flavor.
