Ingrédients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
  • 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed espresso, cooled

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Electric mixer
  • Large bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir in melted butter until combined. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar until well combined.
  5. Beat in pumpkin puree, eggs one at a time, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until just combined. Stir in the cooled espresso.
  6. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the crust mixture. Serve chilled.
