Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (240g) pure pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
Instructions
- Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until the mixture looks like wet sand and holds together when pressed between your fingers. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Chill to set.
- Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Whip the cold heavy cream in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture using a rubber spatula, keeping as much air in the filling as possible.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
Notes
[‘Use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.’, ‘Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks but do not overwhip to prevent grainy texture.’, ‘Press crust firmly to avoid crumbs falling when serving.’, ‘Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid watery filling.’, ‘Chill cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.’, ‘Keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days; do not freeze.’]
