Viewed: 65 - Published at: a year agoIngredients
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (about 45 crushed wafers)
- 1 cup pecans, ground
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 lbs cream cheese, cubed and softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the wafer crumbs, ground pecans and melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 12-inch springform pan.
- In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, mix the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the brown sugar and process until blended.
- Add the eggs one at a time, processing until fully incorporated, then blend in the heavy cream.
- Add the flour, salt, cinnamon and vanilla and blend until smooth.
- Add the pumpkin and blend until smooth.
- Pour the filling over the crust in the pan. Bake 1 hour, 15 minutes, or until the cheesecake is just set. Remove from the oven.
- Use a knife to loosen the cake from the side of the pan; this will prevent it from splitting down the center.
- Let cool completely before slicing.
