Seriously, combining gingersnaps & pumpkin cheesecake is like combing caramel & chocolate! I could eat this anytime of the year, though it is more traditionally made through the fall holidays.
32 gingersnap cookies, crushed (about 1 1/2 c)
1/4 c butter, melted
5 pkgs (8oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 c sugar
1 can (15oz) solid pack pumpkin
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
5 eggs, lightly beaten
dash of nutmeg
maple syrup
In sm bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs & butter. Press into a greased 13x9 baking dish; set aside.
In lg mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Beat in pumpkin, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Add eggs, put on low speed just until combined.
Pour over crust; sprinkle with nutmeg.
Bake at 350 for 40-45 min. or until center is almost set.
Cool on wire rack for 10 min.
Carefully run knife around edge of baking dish to loosen; cool 1 hour longer.
Refrigerate overnight.
Cut into squares, serve with maple syrup!! YUM!!!
remember to refrigerate leftovers!
