Ultra-Creamy Pumpkin Cheesecake With a Hint of Brandy image

Fall is here and I've been craving spicy-sweet pumpkin cheesecake.

To kick things up a-bit, I add a little brandy to this recipe - Once you bite into this delight you are sure to surrender to the pleasure. Sure, it's an outrageous indulgence. But what the heck: The holidays are here!

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups cottage cheese
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 cups dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1/3 cup flour
1 (15 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin
1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup brandy
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
whipped cream
1/2 cup pecan halves, toasted
1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Coat 9" springform pan with cooking spray.
  • Crumb Crust:.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Mix to moisten crumbs, then press into prepared pan - bottom and 2-inches up the sides. Bake 10-12 minutes until slightly darkened.
  • Pumpkin Filling:.
  • With a wire whisk or electric mixer on low speed, beat cottage cheese until smooth. Add cream cheese, brown sugar, eggs (one at a time until smooth), and flour; continue beating until smooth.
  • Add pumpkin, ginger, cinnamon, brandy, nutmeg and cloves; beat until smooth. COOK'S TIP: DO NOT OVERBEAT! If there is too much air in the batter, it will pouf up like a souffle while baking then drop into an unappetizing mess.
  • Pour the batter into the baked graham cracker crust.
  • Bake the cheesecake 1 1/2 hours on a baking sheet, or until top is firm and cake is beginning to pull away from sides of pan.
  • Cool cheesecake to room temperature on a wire rack, then chill in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 hours before unmolding and serving. COOK'S TIP: Chilling overnight is best.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your bread a more intense pumpkin flavor. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin until it is soft, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months: To freeze the bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag.

Conclusion:

Brandied pumpkin bread is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. This recipe is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're serving it at a holiday party or enjoying it as a snack, this bread is sure to be a hit.
