Ingredients
Crust:
-
1 cup almond meal
-
½ cup crushed slivered almonds
-
¼ cup white sugar
-
¼ teaspoon baking soda
-
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
3 tablespoons melted butter
Filling:
-
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
-
2 cups sour cream
-
1 ¾ cups pumpkin puree
-
1 cup white sugar
-
4 eggs
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon ground ginger
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Whisk almond meal, slivered almonds, 1/4 cup sugar, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl; stir in butter until almond mixture is evenly moistened. Pour almond mixture into a 10-inch springform pan and press firmly into the bottom.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is set, about 10 minutes. Remove crust from oven and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a pan of hot water onto the bottom rack of the oven to help reduce cracking in the cheesecake.
-
Beat cream cheese, sour cream, pumpkin puree, 1 cup sugar, eggs, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl using an electric mixer, scraping bottom and sides of bowl frequently, until filling is smooth. Pour filling over hot crust.
-
Place pan on the center rack in oven and bake until cheesecake peaks in the center, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature before removing sides of pan. Transfer cheesecake to a serving plate and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator before serving, at least 2 hours.
Cook's Note:
I have also made this with cooked, mashed yams or cooked, mashed winter squash, such as butternut or acorn. All are very good and work equally well.
