SPICED PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR & BOURBON CREAM
Posted for safekeeping. This is from America's Test Kitchen, and according to my co-worker it's not only the best pumpkin cheesecake recipe he's ever had, but also the best cheesecake period. "Depending on the oven and the temperature of the ingredients, the cheesecake may bake about 15 minutes faster or slower than the instructions indicate; it is therefore best to check the cake 1 1/4 hours into baking. Although the cheesecake can be make up to three days in advance, the crust will begin to lose its crispness after only one day. To make slicing the cheesecake easy and neat, use a knife with a narrow blade, such as a carving knife; between cuts, dip the blade into a pitcher of hot water and wipe it clean with paper towels. The cheesecake is good on it's own, bu the Brown Sugar and Bourbon Cream is a grand addition" Also want to note, don't let the number of steps scare you off, most of them indicate technique, not actual extra steps as is the way of America's Test Kitchen.

- Set wrapped springform pan in a roasting pan. Pour the filling into the springform pan and smoothe the surface.
- Set the roasting pan in the oven and pour enough boiling water to come about halfway up the side of the springform pan.

Tips:
- Use softened cream cheese: This will ensure a smooth cheesecake batter. You can soften cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or by microwaving it on low power for a few seconds.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly. Mix the batter until just combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Let the cheesecake cool slowly: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from sinking in the middle. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door cracked open for about an hour.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.
