2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
Dash of kosher salt
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
One 15-ounce can pumpkin puree

1/4 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Whipped cream, for serving
Chopped pecans, for serving

Steps:

  • For the pumpkin gingersnap cheesecake: In a food processor or blender, grind the gingersnaps until fine. Pour into a bowl and stir in the pecans, melted butter, brown sugar and salt. Press into the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
