Yield 1 9inch cake, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup finely ground pecans
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs, pecans, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Pour in the melted butter and stir well to blend.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

  • Beat until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs and yolks, beating on low speed until just blended.
  • Fold in the cream and pumpkin purée.
  • Pour the batter into the crust-lined pan, and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake until the center is nearly set, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully run a small, sharp knife between the cake and the sides of the pan.
  • Release the sides of the pan and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Cover the cheesecake tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours, before serving.
