Method
Prepare the Crust:
- In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch square pan or glass pie plate to form an even layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set while preparing the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and both sugars using a hand or stand mixer. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, and continue mixing until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice, and mix until just combined.
- Gradually pour in the heavy cream in 3-4 increments, whipping it into the cream cheese mixture after each addition until fully incorporated and the filling is light and fluffy.
- Fold in the pumpkin purée and ground cinnamon with a spatula.
Assemble and Chill:
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8-10 hours, or until the cheesecake is fully set and chilled.
Notes
Sprinkle Biscoff Crumbs for decorating before chilling!:)
