Perfect Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

I originally come from a small town in South Central Ohio that is home each year to The Pumpkin Show. This yearly festival bring hundreds of thousands of people into town as it features pumpkin EVERYTHING that you could think of! Not only the typical pumpkin pies, but ice cream, donuts, waffles, chili and burgers too! It’s amazing and if you love pumpkin? You’re in Heaven. Even if you don’t love pumpkin, you’ll still probably get a kick out of 1200 lb pumpkins and the massive (and I do mean massive) Pumpkin Pie that Lindsay’s Bakery makes each year. That’s where this I originally fell in love with an amazing pumpkin cheesecake recipe. No  matter where I am, I can always make a pumpkin cheesecake and feel like I’m back among the carnival rides and tasty foods back home.

Because I grew up in pumpkin Heaven, I’m so picky about pumpkin flavored anything. Trust me, when you’ve had good pumpkin flavored food; you really turn your nose up at anything that may taste sub-par. This pumpkin cheesecake recipe is perfect for even the biggest pumpkin snob. It is creamy and decadent and everything you’ve come to expect from a good pumpkin dessert.

Ingredients

• For the filling:
• 4 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 16 oz can pumpkin puree
• 1 ¼ Cup white granulated Sugar

• 1/4 Tbsp. All-Purpose Flour
• 2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
• 4 eggs room temperature
• 2 Teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
• For the crust:
• 2 ½ Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs I use my own homemade graham crackers for this recipe
• 1 Tbsp. white granulated Sugar
• 1 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
• ½ Stick Butter melted

Instructions

1. In small mixing bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon and melted butter to form the crust. You’ll want it mixed well enough that you can pinch it together and it holds its form.
2. Press into the bottom of a spring form pan and set aside.
3. To make the filling, use a hand mixer the softened cream cheese, sugar, sour cream and eggs in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
