Ingredients:
Crust:
About 2 c gingersnap cookies or graham crackers crushed and crumbled! I used gingersnaps!
1 stick butter
Cheesecake:
4 8 ounces of cream cheese at room temperature!
1 1/2 c sugar
4 eggs
1 c canned pumpkin (NOT the pie mix one!)
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon, ground!
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon!
1/4 tsp nutmeg, ground too!!
Whipped Cream (Optional)
Directions
Heat oven to 300°F. Grease 9-inch springform pan with butter flavored cooking spray. Wrap foil around pan to catch drippings if they pour out in baking! In small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs/gingersnap and butter. Press crumb mixture in bottom and make sure it is about a inch up sides also of the baking dish!. Bake 10 to 15 minutes . then when it comes out, I took a piece of paper towel sna pressed the crush down even more and the paper towel absorbed a little of the excess butter used to mix for crush. Cool 15 minutes.
In mixing bow beat cream cheese with mixer on medium speed just until its smooth and kind of creamy! zfony over mix it! On low speed, gradually beat in sugar. On low speed, beat in eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Spoon 3 cups of the cream cheese mixture into pan; spread evenly.
Mix remaining mix with pumpkin, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix with wire whisk until smooth. Spoon over mixture in pan.
Bake 1 hour 40 minutes or until edges are set but center of cheesecake still jiggles slightly when moved.
Turn oven off; crack open oven door at least 4 inches. Leave cheesecake in oven 30 minutes longer. Remove from oven; place on cooling rack. Without releasing side of pan, run knife around edge of pan to loosen cheesecake. Cool in pan on cooling rack 30 minutes. Cover loosely; refrigerate at least 6 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
Run knife around edge of pan to loosen cheesecake again; carefully remove side of pan. Place cheesecake on serving plate. Store cheesecake covered in refrigerator.
