Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

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.
