Wow, this pumpkin cheesecake is amazing. The cheesecake itself has a wonderful fall spice pumpkin flavor. It's perfectly smooth and the praline topping adds a marvelous crunch to every bite. Consider putting aside the pumpkin pie and serving this cheesecake at your holiday dinner.

Number Of Ingredients 21

FOR CRUST
1 3/4 c graham cracker crumbs
4 Tbsp brown sugar, light
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 stick melted butter
FOR FILLING
3 pkg cream cheese, room temperature; 8 oz each
1 can(s) pumpkin puree; 15 oz
3 large eggs plus 1 yolk
1/4 c sour cream
1 1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp good vanilla extract
PRALINE TOPPING
1 1/2 c chopped or whole pecans
1/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
5 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Prepare a standard size springform pan with some cooking spray.
  • 3. Mix together the dry ingredients.
  • 4. Add the 1 stick of melted butter and combine.
  • 5. Press it into the springform pan, inching it up the sides as much as you can. This will make the cheesecake look amazing.
  • 6. Filling: Mix all of the filling items until they are well incorporated.
  • 7. Be sure the cream cheese is at room temp so it does not leave any lumps when well mixed.
  • 8. Pour everything into the prepared crust.
  • 9. Put into a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
  • 10. After 1 hour, test to be sure it doesn't jiggle too much in the center, take it out and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
  • 11. Cover with Saran Wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
  • 12. PRALINE TOPPING: Put the pecans in a skillet and let them cook, stirring them around on a medium heat for about 5 minutes. This brings out flavor!!
  • 13. Then add the butter, sugar, and cinnamon and on a medium-high heat. Allow this to caramelize for about 5 minutes.
  • 14. Empty the mixture out onto waxed paper and allow to cool.
  • 15. Remove the cheesecake from the fridge and carefully remove the Saran Wrap trying to avoid water droplets from falling on the cheesecake.
  • 16. Crumble apart and top off the cheesecake with the mixture. Add some fresh whipping cream and serve. OH YUM!

This cheesecake is very time-consuming to make. I would not recommend it for a weeknight meal.

This cheesecake is very dense. I would recommend baking it for a few minutes less.

I'm not a fan of the praline topping. I think it's too sweet and crunchy.

This cheesecake is very sweet. I would recommend cutting the sugar in the recipe by half.

I'm not sure why, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was still good, but it wasn't as creamy as I would have liked.
