Ingredients
- Biscoff Cookie Crust:
- 1¾ cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (about 1 package)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- Pumpkin Cheesecake:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 large eggs
- 15 oz can pumpkin puree
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- Toppings:
- Fresh whipped cream
- Caramel sauce
- Pecans or walnuts, toasted (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix Biscoff cookie crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until it resembles wet sand.
- Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Mix until combined.
- Beat in eggs two at a time on low speed, mixing just until incorporated—avoid over-mixing.
- Add pumpkin puree and heavy cream, mixing on low until smooth.
- Pour filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
- Wrap the outside of the springform pan in a double layer of foil. Place it in a roasting pan and fill with hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath.
- Bake for 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 25 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
- Remove from oven, discard water bath, and cool cheesecake at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Top with caramel sauce, whipped cream, and toasted nuts before serving. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For clean slices, use a hot knife and wipe between each cut.
- Use room-temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth filling.
- Cheesecake can be made a day ahead and topped just before serving.
- If you don’t have Biscoff cookies, graham crackers work as a substitute.
