This creamy pumpkin cheesecake is a total upgrade from pumpkin pie. To make it even more delicious, it has a Biscoff cookie crust that adds a delightful crunch and flavor.
Prepare a 9 inch springform pan with non stick spray and parchment paper lining the bottom
Wrap the outside bottom of the springform pan in tinfoil so that no water seeps through from the water bath.
In a hand food processor or chopper, chop up the Biscoff cookies
Add the brown sugar and melted butter, pulse until it is the consistency of wet sand.
Press the crust into the bottom of the prepared springform pan
Mix the cheesecake batter, make sure that your cream cheese is softened.
In a standing mixer, add cream cheese and sugar. Whip until combined and smooth.
Add the pumpkin puree and mix until fully combined.
Add the sour cream and whip it all again. You should want your cream cheese batter very smooth.
Add the eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and pumpkin spice puree. Mix until everything is combined and smooth.
Pour the batter onto the prepared crust.
Take a large cake pan, I use an 11" round cake bath for my water bath.
Fill the cake pan about 1/2 full of hot water, and place the water bath in the hot oven.
Carefully place the unbaked cheesecake in the center of the water bath.
Close the oven and bake for 60 minutes.
Once the timer goes off, turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in. Prop the oven door open very slightly and let the cheesecake sit in the hot oven as it cools down for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove the cheesecake and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Cover the cheesecake and place it in the fridge for at least 7 hours to set and chill.
