Yield 1 9inch cake, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup finely ground pecans
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 large eggs

1/4 cup heavy cream

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs, pecans, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a bowl.

  • Bake until the center is nearly set, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully run a small, sharp knife between the cake and the sides of the pan.
  • Release the sides of the pan and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.

This cheesecake is a must-try! The pumpkin flavor is delicious, and the crust is the perfect combination of crunchy and crumbly. I highly recommend this recipe.

This cheesecake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made graham cracker crust to save time, and it still came out perfectly. The pumpkin flavor was just right, and the cheesecake was perfectly set. I'll definitely be making this again

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time. The crust was perfect, though.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but this cheesecake was amazing! The texture was so smooth and creamy, and the crust was the perfect balance of crunchy and crumbly. I'll definitely be making this again for Thanksgiving.
