For the Crust:
- -1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- -½ cup unsalted butter melted
- -¼ cup granulated sugar
- -1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling:
- -16 oz cream cheese softened
- -1 cup pumpkin puree
- -1 cup granulated sugar
- -3 large eggs
- -1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- -1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- -½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- -½ teaspoon ground ginger
- -¼ teaspoon salt
For the Caramel Sauce:
- -1 cup granulated sugar
- -6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- -½ cup heavy cream
- -1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- -Pinch of salt
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.
Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9" springform pan to make an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Expel from stove and set aside to cool.
Step 2: Prepare Pumpkin Caramel Cheesecake Delight Filling
In a huge blending bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and rich.
Add the pumpkin puree, and sugar, and mix until well combined.
Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each extension. Rub down the sides of the bowl as required.
Mix in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until it is well combined.
Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the Pumpkin Caramel Cheesecake Delight filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is just slightly jiggly-it will firm up while cooling.
Turn off the oven, and leave the cheesecake in for another hour. This helps prevent cracks.
Expel from the broiler and permit it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at slightest 4 hours, or overnight.
Step 4: Make the Caramel Sauce
In a medium pan over medium warm, liquefy the sugar. Stir continuously until it forms a golden-brown caramel.
Slowly add the butter and stir until melted and combined.
Pour slowly into the heavy cream as you stir. Be aware that this mixture may bubble up.
Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let cool slightly.
