Description

This recipe makes two pumpkin cheesecakes with prepared graham cracker crusts and simple ingredients for an easy fall dessert.

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
3/4 cup white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 prepared 8 inch pastry shells

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Beat cream cheese and sugar together until combined; add pumpkin and spices. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add salt; beat until creamy.
3 Pour the mixture evenly into the two prepared crusts.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cheesecake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving for best results.
