Pumpkin Cheesecake
Submitted by: Jimmy
 I wasn''t a big pumpkin fan until I made this cheesecake, now I love it and make it regularly.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 cup(s) , Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 3/4 cup(s) , Ground Toasted Hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup(s) , White Sugar
  • 1/2 cup(s) , Butter Melted
  • 32 ounces , Cream Cheese Softened
  • 2 cup(s) , Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon(s) , Vanilla
  • 1/2 cup(s) , Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup(s) , Heavy Cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) , Ground Cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon(s) , Ground Ginger
  • 3/4 teaspoon(s) , Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) , Ground Cloves
  • 1/4 cup(s) , Flour
  • 8 large , Eggs
  • 3 can(s) , Pumpkin

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F.

To make crust:
Lightly spray the bottom and sides of two 10-inch springform pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line sides of the pans with parchment or wax paper.

In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, hazelnuts, sugar and melted butter. Mix well and divide evenly between prepared pans. Press firmly over the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of the pans.

To make filling:
In a large bowl, use a heavy-duty electric mixer to combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Mix until smooth; add sour cream and whipping cream. Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue beating. Add cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and flour. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat in pumpkin. Divide evenly between prepared pans.

Place in oven side by side. Bake 20 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 200°F. for 1 hour or until the cheesecakes feel firm to the touch. Turn oven off and let cheesecakes cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. This should prevent cracking (if a crack should appear, blend some sour cream, powdered sugar and vanilla and spread over the top when ready to serve). Cool, cover and refrigerate.

*To toast hazelnuts, Put them in a pan on the stove and stir them around until the smell just starts to comeout, Don''t walk away because they can easily burn.
