Pumpkin-Cinnamon Cheesecake





Serves 12 |
A fall favorite in sweet form.
Ingredients:
2 cups crushed vanilla wafers |
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans |
3 tablespoons brown sugar, firmly packed |
1 stick butter, melted |
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar |
16 oz. Neufchatel cheese |
1 cup pumpkin, canned, solid-pack |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/8 teaspoon ginger, ground |
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, ground |
4 eggs |
Whipped topping, for garnish |
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together vanilla wafers, pecans, brown sugar and butter. Press wafer mixture into the bottom and 2 inches up sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat sugar and cheese on medium speed with an electric mixer until well-blended. Add pumpkin, sour cream, ginger and cinnamon; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended.
