Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Biscoff cookies
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Combine the crushed Biscoff cookies, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the pumpkin puree, 1 cup sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
- Turn off the oven, prop the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- For easier slicing, run a thin knife under hot water and wipe dry between cuts.
- You can top this cheesecake with whipped cream or extra crushed Biscoff cookies before serving.
