Time 7h40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
8 sheets graham crackers
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Position the oven racks in the center and lower third of the oven. Fill a baking dish or roasting pan about half full with water and place on the lower rack. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with butter and set aside.
  • Grind the graham crackers and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs. Add the butter and 1 tablespoon water and pulse until moistened. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake on the center rack until firm and browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, salt and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the yogurt and eggs until blended. Then beat in the pumpkin puree, flour, pie spice and vanilla until just combined. Stir with a spatula a few times to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated from the bottom of the bowl.
  • Pour the batter over the crust and rap the pan against the countertop to release air bubbles. Bake the cheesecake on the center rack until the center is only slightly jiggly, 50 to 60 minutes. Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Run a thin sharp knife between the cheesecake and the pan to release the sides. Let cool completely, then refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Release the sides of the pan and dust the top with the confectioners' sugar before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out. The crust was soggy and the filling was runny.

I was disappointed with this cheesecake. The crust was too hard and the filling was too dense.

This pumpkin cheesecake was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The yogurt gave it a lovely tanginess that balanced out the sweetness of the pumpkin. I also loved the gingersnap crust - it added a nice crunch and flavor.
