Over here, any time I can come up something I can make completely from ingredients from here I am happy. I am even happier when it turns out. Sooo....I made this on Saturday when we had a Thanksgiving meal with a few friends. I thought maybe somebody would like to try this really easy Pumpkin Cheesecake. Let me also say I am writing the ingredients for those who don't live in the easiest country in the world to cook in!:) You know places where you can't buy ready made graham cracker crust! So if you live where you can buy a pre-made crust...go for it.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup cookies (whatever graham cracker type you can find.)
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/8 tsp ginger
1/3 cup butter melted
1 pack cream cheese (softened)
3 eggs beaten
15oz pumpkin puree
(you can make it exactly like the Libby's brand by just baking cut up pumpkin in a baking dish with a little water. Bake it...mash it...and then puree it. It freezes great too. )
1/2 cup whip cream
1 cup packed brown sugar
(you can brown sugar by adding 1tablespoon of molasses to 1 cup of white sugar)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
Crust:
In a large plastic bowl crush cookies into a coarse powder
mix in sugar and ground ginger
add in butter
stir together and then pat into your pan. ( a break away pan makes a pretty cheesecake!)
Filling:
Combine cream cheese and brown sugar- beat until smooth(on low speed if you are using a mixer)
beat in eggs
beat in pumpkin puree
stir in whipped cream
mix well
stir in spices
-pour into pie shell
Bake for 35-40 min.
