Time 8h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups crushed teddy bear-shaped cinnamon graham snacks (from 10-oz box)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup light or dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon spiced rum or 1/4 teaspoon rum extract
Sweetened whipped cream, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300°F. Spray 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Wrap foil around pan to catch drips. In small bowl, mix crust ingredients. Press mixture in bottom and 1 inch up side of pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool 5 minutes. To minimize cracking, place shallow pan half full of hot water on lower oven rack.
  • In large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Spoon 3 cups of the mixture onto crust; spread evenly. To remaining cream cheese mixture, add pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and cardamom; mix with wire whisk until smooth. Spoon over mixture in pan.
  • Bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes or until edge of cheesecake is set at least 2 inches from edge of pan but center of cheesecake still jiggles slightly when moved. Run small metal spatula around edge of pan to loosen cheesecake. Turn oven off; open oven door at least 4 inches. Let cheesecake remain in oven 30 minutes. Cool in pan on cooling rack 30 minutes. Cover loosely; refrigerate at least 6 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  • In small saucepan, heat brown sugar, corn syrup and 2 tablespoons butter to boiling over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Boil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in whipping cream; heat to boiling. Remove from heat; stir in rum. Cool until warm.
  • Just before serving, run small metal spatula around edge of pan; carefully remove side of pan. Top individual slices with warm sauce and a dollop of whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate any remaining cheesecake.

This cheesecake was a disaster! The crust was soggy, and the cheesecake filling was curdled. I don't know what went wrong.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was too crumbly, and the cheesecake filling was a little too dense. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The crust was a little too thick for my liking, but the cheesecake filling was delicious. I'll try using a thinner crust next time.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
