Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of brown sugar, and the pumpkin puree to the cream cheese. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the mixture. Beat until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 7

Mix in the vanilla extract and Frangelico. Blend well.

Step 8

Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as it can introduce air bubbles into the batter.

Step 9

Finally, fold in the heavy cream gently until the batter is smooth and uniform.

Step 10

Pour the batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 11

Place the springform pan on a large sheet of aluminum foil and wrap the foil securely around the sides to prevent water from seeping in. Place the pan in a large roasting pan.

Step 12

Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan, creating a water bath to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.

Step 13

Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the oven and bake for 70-80 minutes. The cheesecake is done when the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.

Step 14

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Step 15

Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and remove the foil. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 16

Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it, then release the springform pan. Slice and enjoy!
