Ingredients
Cinnamon Graham Cracker Crust
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Light Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream, divided
- 1 cup Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Light Brown Sugar, packed, divided
- 1 packet (.25 oz.) unflavored gelatin
- 16 ounces (1lb.) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup 100% pumpkin
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Topping
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1
Start with the filling, in a small pot, heat ½ cup of the heavy cream just to the boiling point. In small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon sugar and gelatin together then whisk that mixture into hot cream until gelatin dissolves. Stir in reserved ½ cup cream and set aside to cool to room temperature.
To make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter together until well blended. Press crumb mixture into bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan and set aside.
Step 2
Now to continue our filling, in mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until whipped. Add remaining sugar and beat until creamy. Beat in pumpkin, vanilla, and spices and beat on medium-high speed for 1 minute until whipped and smooth, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in gelatin mixture.
Step 3
Pour filling into prepared crust and smooth top with an offset spatula. Cover the cheesecake tightly in parchment wrap and chill a minimum of 4 hours until set. Chill until ready to serve, 12 - 24 hours is the ideal amount of time to chill the filling to completely set
To serve:
To make the topping, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Beat in Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Powdered Sugar until medium peaks form. Do not overbeat. Use an offset spatula to spread over the top of the Pumpkin Cheesecake or use a piping bag and fluted tip of choice to decorate. Sprinkle ground cinnamon as garnish.
Chef's Tip
To unmold, run a hot knife around the inside edge of the pan; then, gently release the springform pan from the cheesecake, transfer cheesecake to a serving plate.
