BEST-EVER PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST



Best-Ever Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust image

The Best-Ever Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust! Rich & creamy cheesecake with the perfect light & fluffy texture, laced with warm pumpkin spices, & served on a super gingery gingersnap crust. The ultimate pumpkin dessert for Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving celebrations!

Provided by Jess Larson

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 12h

Number Of Ingredients 11

14 ounces crispy gingersnap cookies (see Recipe Notes)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
32 ounces cream cheese (four 8-ounce bricks), at room temperature
¼ cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
6 large eggs at room temperature, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 heaping tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
for serving, as desired: freshly whipped cream, freshly grated nutmeg, salted caramel

Steps:

  • to 350 degrees F. Wrap the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan tightly in foil - this is the easiest way to ensure no liquid oozes in or out of the springform pan while the crust and the cheesecake bake. Make sure it's tightly wrapped so it does not fall off while you're transferring anything in or out of the oven!
  • for 12-15 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Reduce the heat of the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • for 1 hour and 45 minutes, until the edges are set. The center of the cheesecake may still be a little loose, and that's okay! It will continue to set as it sits. Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour while the oven cools. The residual heat of the oven will gently bake the cheesecake to completion. Remove the cheesecake from the oven & from the water bath and transfer to the refrigerator to set for 8-12 hours.
  • Run a knife around the edges of the springform pan before releasing it. Slice the cheesecake into 8-12 slices. Top with whipped cream, freshly grated nutmeg, & a drizzle of salted caramel as desired. Enjoy!

THE BEST PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE



The Best Pumpkin Cheesecake image

There's no better way to celebrate pumpkin-spice season! With swirls of pumpkin filling, caramel and a gingersnap crust, this autumnal cheesecake is a delight. We start by whipping up a classic cheesecake batter, then add pumpkin and warm spices to half the batch. Both are used to create a unique bullseye pattern. Nutty spiced seeds add crunch. Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature -- this ensures that the cheesecake is smooth and creamy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 11h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

14 ounces gingersnap cookies (about 46 cookies)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Four 8-ounce packages (2 pounds) cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/3 cup raw hulled pumpkin seeds
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch ground cloves
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch ground ginger
Pinch ground cloves
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • For the crust: Add the gingersnap cookies, melted butter and salt to a food processor. Process until the crumb mixture looks like coarse sand, about 30 seconds. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Bake the crust until it is fragrant and golden brown, about 12 minutes.
  • Remove the crust to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan tightly with foil and place in a roasting pan.
  • For the filling: Add the cream cheese to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar and beat, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the sour cream, vanilla and salt and beat just until combined.
  • Scoop 3 cups of the cheesecake filling into a medium bowl. Add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and 1/4 cup water and stir with a rubber spatula until well combined. Bring a pot or kettle of water to a boil.
  • Fill a 1-cup measure with plain cheesecake filling and pour into the center of the cooled crust. Fill a 1-cup measure with pumpkin filling and pour into the center of the plain filling. The batter will spread as you add alternating scoops, widening to form concentric circles. Repeat with the remaining batter in 1/2-cup increments alternating between flavors, until all the batter is used.
  • Carefully place the roasting pan in the oven (don't pull the rack out of the oven). Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come about halfway up the sides of the foil-wrapped pan.
  • Bake until the top of the cheesecake is lightly browned around the edges, but the center is still jiggly, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and let the cheesecake sit in the oven until the center becomes just slightly jiggly, about 1 hour (see Cook's Note).
  • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a wire rack. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
  • For the spiced pumpkin seeds: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the pumpkin seeds, oil, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt and cloves in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and roast until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • For the pumpkin caramel: Melt the sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until caramelized and dark amber (a digital instant-read or candy thermometer should register 245 degrees F), about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Lower the heat to low. Carefully whisk in the heavy cream and butter and continue stirring until melted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, ginger and cloves until combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
  • To serve: Let the cheesecake sit at room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Unlock the springform pan and remove the ring. Sprinkle the spiced pumpkin seeds around the top outer edge of the cheesecake. Dip a knife in a warm water and wipe dry before slicing each piece. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of the pumpkin caramel.

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 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 CHEESECAKE



Pumpkin Cheesecake image

We took the pumpkin out of the pie and baked it into a rich and creamy cheesecake; it's an especially memorable ending to a holiday meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 8h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups graham-cracker crumbs (from 10 whole crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 packages (8 ounces each) bar cream cheese, very soft
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons pumpkin-pie spice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. Assemble a 9-inch nonstick springform pan, with the raised side of the bottom part facing up.
  • Make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter until moistened; press firmly into bottom of pan. Bake until golden around edges, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Make the filling: With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar on low speed until smooth; mix in flour (do not overmix). Add pumpkin puree, pie spice, vanilla, and salt; mix just until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until each is incorporated before adding the next.
  • Place springform pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour filling into springform, and gently smooth top. Transfer to oven; reduce oven heat to 300 degrees. Bake 45 minutes without opening the oven. Turn off oven; to prevent the top from cracking, let cheesecake stay in oven 2 hours more (without opening).
  • Remove from oven; cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours. Unmold before serving.

Tips:

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start mixing it. This will help it cream together smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese and sugar mixture. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cheesecake. The center of the cheesecake should be slightly jiggly when you take it out of the oven. It will continue to cook as it cools.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Serve the cheesecake with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy pumpkin filling, marshmallow sour cream topping, and gingersnap crust, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this pumpkin cheesecake a try. You won't be disappointed!
