Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 4 Cup chocolate graham crumbs (divided)
  • 1/2 Cup salted butter (melted and divided )
  • 4 Packages cream cheese (8 oz packages, softened)
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/4 Tsp. salt
  • 3/4 Cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 Cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tsp. vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp. all purpose flour
  • 1 Cup pumpkin puree (canned, pure )
  • 3/4 Cup sour cream
  • 1 Tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 Tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/4 Tsp. ground cloves

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix together graham crumbs and melted butter. Press evenly into the bottom of pie dishes. Bake 10 to15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. 
  • Turn down over to 300 degrees F. 
  • With the whisk attachment of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. And white and brown sugar and salt and beat until well incorporated. 
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. 
  • Add remaining ingredients (flour, pumpkin, sour cream, spices, and vanilla). Mix again until smooth and no lumps are present. 
  • Pour cream cheese mixture onto crusts. 
  • Carefully place in oven and bake 45 to 60 minutes. Try not to open the oven door until the end of cooking time. Centre will still be slightly jiggly, but sides should seem set. Turn oven off and leave cheesecake in the oven for 1 to 2 hours. This helps prevent any cracking. 
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before serving. Feel free to top with pecans, cinnamon, or cream cheese icing.
