from Marina Mont'ros Crust: 1-1/2 c Graham cracker crumbs 1/4 c sugar 1/3 c butter Cheesecake: 3 8oz packages cream cheese, softened 1 c sugar 1/4 c packed brown sugar 15oz can pure pumpkin 2 eggs 2/3 c evaporated milk 2 T cornstarch 1-1/4 t cinnamon 1/2 t nutmeg Notes: t for teaspoon, T for tablespoon. I unwrap the cream cheese into a mixing bowl when it's cold & let it come to room temp. Neufchâtel works fine & is usually what I use. Topping: 2 c sour cream, at room temp 1/4 c sugar 1 t vanilla Heat oven to 350. For crust: combine all ingredients & press onto bottom & up sides of springform pan. Bake for 6-8 minutes, do not brown. Remove from oven & cool. For cheesecake: beat cream cheese & sugars in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in pumpkin, eggs and milk. Add cornstarch and spices and combine. Pour into crust. Bake 55-60 minutes. Edges should be set, but center is not as firm. Allow to cool & make topping. For topping: mix all ingredients & spread over cheesecake. If you don't have a springform pan, you can make it in standard 8" pie pans, but you need to make 2x the crust and the other components (filling/topping) will work out fine. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
