Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth cheesecake filling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This will help it blend more easily and prevent lumps.
  • For a more intense pumpkin flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned. If using canned puree, be sure to drain off any excess liquid before using.
  • To get a perfectly graham cracker crust, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before filling it with the cheesecake mixture. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, let it cool slowly in the oven with the door cracked open. You can also place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven to help create a more humid environment.
  • For a more decadent cheesecake, top it with whipped cream, caramel sauce, or fresh berries before serving.
