Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes then set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Step 5

Add the pumpkin puree, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and blend until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan.

Step 9

Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 75-90 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are slightly puffed.

Step 10

Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

Step 11

Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Step 12

Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice as desired. Enjoy!
