Pumpkin Gingersnap Cheesecake with Salted Caramel Sauce image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 6h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

12 ounces gingersnaps
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
Dash of kosher salt
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
One 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Whipped cream, for serving
Chopped pecans, for serving

Steps:

  • For the pumpkin gingersnap cheesecake: In a food processor or blender, grind the gingersnaps until fine. Pour into a bowl and stir in the pecans, melted butter, brown sugar and salt. Press into the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the filling, beat the cream cheese in a stand mixer until soft, scraping the sides once. Mix in the pumpkin, scraping the sides once or twice. Add the eggs 1 at a time, allowing them to mix in, then add the sour cream and mix. With the mixer on low, add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. Thoroughly scrape the bowl and mix to ensure everything is smooth and mixed in.
  • Pour the filling into the pan, smoothing the top. Set the pan on a baking sheet and bake until the filling is no longer soupy but still slightly jiggly, about 50 minutes. Turn off the oven, open the door just a hair and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 30 minutes, then cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • For the salted caramel sauce: Mix the brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, vanilla and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-low to medium heat. Cook, while whisking gently, until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool, then refrigerate until needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Slice the cheesecake and top with the salted caramel sauce, whipped cream and chopped pecans.

PUMPKIN CARAMEL CHEESECAKE



PUMPKIN CARAMEL CHEESECAKE image

Categories     Cheese

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup water
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1½ pounds organic cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon grated orange zest
5 large cage‐free eggs, at room temperature
1 can (15 ounces) organic pumpkin purée
½ cup organic sour cream
Lightly whipped cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the caramel: Put the water, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and lemon juice in small, heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. When the mixture begins to simmer, continue cooking undisturbed until it turns a caramel‐brown color and reaches about 340°F on a candy thermometer. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into a 9‐inch round cake pan, swirling the pan to coat its bottom and sides with the caramel. Set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 325°F and set to BAKE. To make the cream cheese pumpkin filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. With the paddle attachment of the stand mixer, or with a hand‐held electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on low speed until smooth. Add the remaining granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and orange zest; continue beating on low speed until smooth, about 2 minutes longer. One at a time, beat in the eggs until thoroughly blended, stopping after each addition to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the pumpkin, beating it in until thoroughly combined, and then scrape down the bowl again. Finally, add the sour cream, beat it in until smooth, and scrape down the bowl. To assemble and bake: With the help of the spatula, transfer the mixture into the caramel‐coated pan. Place the pan inside a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour warm water into the roasting pan until it comes about halfway up the side of the cake pan, forming a water bath. Place the baking rack, face up, in the lower rack position of the pressure oven and carefully place the roasting pan on the rack. Close the door and set the vent valve to seal. Set the timer for 45 minutes and bake until the cheesecake is slightly firm to a light touch. Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven and lift out the cake pan. Leave at room temperature to cool for about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree provides a more intense flavor and creamier texture than canned pumpkin puree. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until tender, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter: Overbeating the batter can result in a dense, crumbly cheesecake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
  • Let the cheesecake cool slowly: Allow the cheesecake to cool slowly in the oven after baking. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from sinking in the center.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving: Chilling the cheesecake allows the flavors to develop and the texture to firm up.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin caramel cheesecake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy pumpkin filling, rich caramel sauce, and graham cracker crust, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
