PUMPKIN MAPLE PECAN CHEESECAKE



Pumpkin Maple Pecan Cheesecake image

Provided by Anne Thornton, Host of Dessert First

Categories     dessert

Time 10h25m

Yield 1 (9-inch) cheesecake

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 graham crackers, finely ground (1 1/3 cups crumbs)
1/4 cup sugar
5 tablespoons butter, melted
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
3 large eggs, at room temperature for 30 minutes
1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons pure grade B maple syrup
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup pure grade B maple syrup
3/4 cup pecan pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • For the crust: Here's a super-easy no-fuss way to make this crust. Break the graham crackers into a food processor with the sugar. Pulse until the crumbs resemble fine meal. Pour the crumbs into a 9-inch springform pan. Pour the melted butter over the mixture, bring together with your fingers and press into the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook's Note: Feel free to experiment with other graham crackers or cookies. Swap cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers for the original graham crackers for a tasty twist.
  • For the cheesecake: In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on high speed until fluffy. Reduce the speed and, with the mixer running, add the eggs. Increase the speed to incorporate the eggs. Add in the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk and maple syrup. Next, add in the cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Beat the mixture for awhile; this will make the cheesecake light and fluffy. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared crust. Tap the pan lightly on the work surface to remove any air pockets.
  • Bake until the center appears nearly set, but jiggles a little when shaken, 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool for 1 hour. Cover and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • For the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine the cream and maple syrup and bring to a boil. Boil until slightly thickened, 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the pecan pieces. Cover and chill. Stir together before serving.
  • To serve: Spoon the maple pecan glaze over the cheesecake.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE IN NUT CRUST



Pumpkin Cheesecake In Nut Crust image

Some cheesecakes are the culinary equivalent of a punch in the gut: too sweet, too heavy, too filling. This one, first published in The Times in 1984, is delightfully different. It's lightly-sweet, slightly tangy and gently laced with spiced pumpkin flavor. The texture is surprisingly airy. Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream or créme fraîche. Don't skip the part of the recipe that calls for allowing it to cool in the oven overnight; it promises a crack-free, glossy top.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 9h30m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups ground pecans
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 egg white, beaten until frothy
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
2 1/2 pounds cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon rind
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch (or use 3 tablespoons flour)
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 pound pumpkin puree, fresh or canned
Coarsely grated lemon rind for garnish

Steps:

  • For the crust, mix nuts with sugar, egg white, ginger and rind just until mixture is bound together. Press into bottom and a little up the sides of 10-inch spring-form pan.
  • For the filling, lightly beat eggs and yolks; add softened cream cheese and sugar and beat until thoroughly mixed.
  • Beat in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, lemon rind and cornstarch or flour. Beat in cream, vanilla and pumpkin.
  • Pour into nut crust. Place pan of hot water in bottom of oven to keep cake from cracking. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 275 degrees and bake 50 to 60 minutes longer. When done, the cheesecake will look set, but the center might still be jiggly. It will set as it cools.
  • Turn off heat and allow cake to cool in oven overnight, about eight hours. Then chill.
  • Remove spring-form before serving and decorate cake with coarsely grated rind.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE WITH CARAMELIZED PECAN TOPPING

What a wonderful way to end your fall dinner. This cheesecake would be especially good at Thanksgiving. Using a straight-sided glass to press crumb mixture onto bottom and up sides of springform pan will make that job a little easier. This cheesecake is best if made a day ahead and adding the topping about 30 minutes before serving. I haven't included cooling time in the prep or cook time. This recipe is originally from Southern Living.
