Make a decadent pumpkin spice cheesecake with sweet brown sugar for a flavorful twist!
Ingredients:
  • 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 24 squares)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tablespoons brandy, if desired
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 eggs
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with shortening and wrap foil around the pan to catch any drips. In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, or until set. Let it cool for 5 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 5 minutes, or until completely cooled.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, brandy, and pumpkin, whisking until fully blended. Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add brown sugar and 2/3 cup granulated sugar, mixing until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until blended. Slowly incorporate the pumpkin mixture until smooth.
  • Pour the luscious filling over the buttery crust and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 25 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set with a slight jiggle in the center. After baking, turn off the oven and leave the door slightly ajar, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the cozy oven for another 30 minutes.
  • Glide a knife along the edge of the pan to release the cheesecake. Let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight before enjoying.
  • To serve the delicious cheesecake, gently slide a knife around the edge of the pan to release it. Then, remove the pan sides carefully before slicing the decadent dessert. Keep it covered in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
