The Most Amazing Fall Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake
The minute the air turned even the slightest bit crisp our kids started asking to make Pumpkin Spice Bread and Cookies, Pumpkin Handpies and then Cheesecake. The Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake won the prize as the first Fall recipe to be baked. I’d venture to say it deserves the spot, it’s decadent and creamy and all things fall cozy. So pull out your Pumpkin Spice Jars and let’s fill your home with all the creamy spiced loveliness.
When our kids started school, I found a red tin for our counter and did my best to keep it full of home baked goodies for after school snacks. One day when the kids came running in from the bus they stepped into the kitchen and said, do we have any Red Tin Treats? And the name stuck.
Now I’m sharing all our holiday red tin treat recipes for your home and kiddos to enjoy.

Disclaimer …. Cheesecake is not hard to make BUT it does require quite a bit of baking + chilling time before you cut that first slice. So don’t go try and whip this up to have after dinner, you’ll be supremely disappointed! Bake it in the morning so it can rest and be ready for after dinner, or whip it up after dinner and you’ll have it all ready to enjoy the next day.
Maddie came shopping with me to grab the ingredients and we were both thrilled to find the Simply Organic Pumpkin Spice mix at Sprouts, plus they have this amazing sour cream that is so easy to bake with. Check out the Good Culture Sour Cream in the Squeeze pouch, it makes it way easier to measure.

Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Recipe
Get your 9 inch Springform pan out, you’ll want one with 3 inch tall walls. This cheesecake is tall ;)
Crust:
12 graham crackers, or about 1 1/2 cups
6 Tablespoons melted salted butter
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Filling:
24 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 (15 ounce) can Pumpkin Puree
4 large eggs
1/4 cup Sour Cream
2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Toppings:
Whipped Cream
Caramel Sauce Drizzle
Fresh Nutmeg
Instructions:
To make, Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees
Pulse the Graham Crackers in a food processor until they are all fine crumbs, add the cinnamon and salt to the food processor and pulse a few times. Transfer the cracker mixture to a medium sized bowl and stir in the melted butter. Press into your springform pan.
Bake for 8 minutes. Once you remove from the oven, place in the fridge to speed up the cooling process. While it’s cooling make the filling.
In a medium sized bowl beat the cream cheese, sugars, pumpkin pie spice and salt until soft and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to incorporate all ingredients. Add in the remaining filling ingredients and beat on medium high speed for another 3 minutes.
Transfer the filling to the chilled Graham Cracker Crust and Bake on the middle rack at 350 for 70 + minutes, or until the middle no longer jiggles when you give it a light shake. Now, turn the oven off, crack the door slightly and allow the cheesecake to rest in the warm oven for another 45 minutes. This is where patience is a virtue, do not try and slice it yet! Transfer to the fridge and allow it to chill for about 4 hours. I let it cool for a bit before wrapping it with plastic wrap. If you wrap it immediately it will create lots of condensation, which is not what you want dripping on your cheesecake!
Once chilled, release the springform and slice. Serve topped with Whipping Cream, Caramel Sauce and a dusting of Nutmeg.
This is what Fall Sweet Dreams are made of ;)

Did you know that when you watch our videos you help fight human trafficking! It's true, years ago we decided to use our everyday life as a way to fight against slavery and trafficking. Since then we started hosting the Freedom Dinners and when our business started, we knew we wanted it to give back too. We donate 10% of all of our profits to AtlasFree to fight for those that cannot stand up for themselves.
