This rich pumpkin cheesecake makes a delicious dessert any time of the year!
Ingredients
Crust:
-
1 pre-baked graham cracker pie crust or make your own using:
-
1 cup crushed graham crackers
-
1 cup crushed walnuts
-
3-5 Tbsp melted butter
-
3 Tbsp PurDate date sugar
Cheesecake:
-
24 oz cream cheese
-
½ cup sour cream
-
1 cup PurDate sugar
-
2 tsp ground cinnamon
-
¼ tsp ground cloves
-
1/4 tsp ground ginger
-
5 eggs + 2 egg yolks
-
1 ½ cup pumpkin or 14-15oz can (pureed & sugar free)
Directions
Mix all ingredients for the crust together and press into the bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan or purchase a pre-baked crust.
Bake 10-12 minutes in oven preheated at 300 F until it begins to turn brown and smells toasted. Let cool completely before adding filling.
Beat cream cheese until fluffy. Run 1 cup of PurDate sugar through a sieve. Add the sugar and spices to the mixture. Beat until combined.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Add sour cream. Stir in pumpkin.
Pour into cooled crust. Bake for 10 minutes at 500 F then reduce heat to 200 degrees and continue baking 50-60 more minutes until the center of the cheesecake registers 150F.
Cool 1 hour on a wire rack. Run a paring knife around the cake to loosen it from the pan. Refrigerate 3 hours. Lasts up to 4 days.
Drizzle preferred sauce over the top of cheesecake and sprinkle with walnuts, pecans or chocolate chips. Refer to our caramel sauce recipe or, if you are in a crunch for time, drizzle date syrup on top.
