PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
Change up the Thanksgiving table with this pumpkin pie-inspired dessert.
Makes one 8-inch (20.5 cm) cake, about 12 servings
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place a baking pan
with a depth of at least
1
⁄
4
inch (0.6 cm) on the bottom
rack of the oven and fill with water. Position the other
rack in the middle of the oven, directly over the
water-filled pan. Lightly coat the inside of an 8-inch
(20 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray.
2. Prepare the crust. Insert the chopping blade into the
work bowl of the food processor. Add the cookies and
pulse about 6 to 8 times to chop, then process on High
to finely grind, about 20 seconds. Add the butter and
pulse about 6 times to combine. Remove and press
into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
3. Prepare the filling. Remove the chopping blade to wipe
out work bowl, then replace the chopping blade. Add
the cream cheese. Pulse about 5 times, scrape down
sides of bowl and process on High for 30 to 35 seconds
until creamy. Add the sugars and pulse a few times, then
process on High until homogenous, stopping to scrape
down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the unit
running on Low, add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time,
until combined.
4. Stop the unit to add the pumpkin, salt and spices.
Pulse until combined, scraping down as needed.
Pulse in the crème fraîche until combined.
5. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan.
If any of the water has evaporated from the baking
pan in the oven, add some more. Place the
cheesecake on the middle rack. Bake for 1 hour, then
turn off the oven. Let cake rest inside the oven for an
additional hour. Cool cheesecake completely on a
cooling rack, then cover and refrigerate for at least
8 hours before serving.
