Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping)

How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Slice

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well blended and smooth.
5. Pour the pumpkin filling over the crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
7. While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the oat topping. In a small bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until the oats are evenly coated.
8. Once the cheesecake has cooled, sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top.
9. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
• Let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven to prevent cracking.
• For a more intense pumpkin flavor, you can add an extra ½ cup of pumpkin puree.
• Always refrigerate the cheesecake before serving to enhance its texture.

Easy Variations

• For a spiced twist, add ¼ teaspoon of allspice to the pumpkin filling.
• Swap the graham cracker crust for a chocolate cookie crust for a unique flavor profile.
• Add a swirl of caramel sauce on top before serving for added sweetness.

What to Serve With It

• Whipped cream or freshly whipped cream cheese frosting
• A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• Freshly brewed coffee or spiced chai tea
