I’m normally not a huge pumpkin lover…I am sure some of you are. I like it ok, but I don’t go totally gaga over it.

But if there is one thing I LOVE that’s pumpkin, it’s this Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe! It’s perfect, amazing, drizzled with caramel, topped with candied, pecans. Love it!

This is the BEST Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe! Topped off with candied pecans and drizzled with caramel.

I love eating it at Thanksgiving or anytime around then.

Ahhhhh! Am I making you hungry? I’d make you some. In fact, I have some in my freezer that I’d share with you if you lived next door. But since you don’t, you’ll have to go ahead and make it yourself!

Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 45 mins
Total Time 1 hr
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 2 C crushed vanilla wafers
  • 2 C chopped pecans
  • 1/2 C butter melted
  • 1/4 C brown sugar
  • 1 15 oz. can of pumpkin
  • 1 1/4 C dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp allspice
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 3 8 oz. boxes of cream cheese softened

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Mix vanilla wafer crumbs, 1 C pecans, butter and 1/4 C regular brown sugar.
  • Press into the bottom of a cheesecake pan.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or so until golden brown.
  • Heat pumpkin, dark brown sugar, and spices over medium heat until warm.
  • Beat eggs on high.
  • Add to the pumpkin mixture and stir in.
  • Add cream cheese and mix until melted and incorporated.
  • Pour mixture over crust.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes. (Edges should be firm but center still jiggly.)
  • Let cool then serve with candied pecans and caramel sauce.

 

Now top it with candied pecans and caramel sauce. You should still have one cup of pecans left to “candy.” It’s very easy to do. If you haven’t done it before, do a quick google search, but basically, you will cook them in the stove with sugar until the sugar caramelizes and coats them.

And that’s all, so dig into this yummy pumpkin cheesecake recipe.

    I’m drooling, this looks so good! I’m going to make this for the teacher lunch at my kids school this week.

    Did you use the water bath method with a springform pan for the pumpkin cheesecake or did you just bake it on a rack in the oven?

    This looks delicious and will definitely be at our Thanksgiving table!

    Thanks.

    Can you use traditional pastry crust instead of the vanilla wafers? Thank you 🙂

      Probably but I’m not sure. You can use ginger snaps instead.

      Yes, or even freeze it.

    I think I would tweet it a bit more to our preferences next time. It did cook beautifully though and really was pretty good. I would add more cinnamon, the cheesecake part needed a bit more flavor. Was not a fan of the vanilla wafer crust, would do a traditional graham cracker crust next time. Also, glad I read through the recipe first because it would be nice for it to say, either 1 cup of chopped pecans with optional candied pecans at the end of the recipe, or 2 cups chopped pecans, divided.

    What size spring form pan did you use? I only have an 8 1/2 inch one. Thanks!
