Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add pumpkin puree and beat until combined.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in sour cream, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the filling over the baked crust.
  7. Make the Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and oats. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans, if using.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly wobbly.
  10. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
  12. Run a knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform.

Notes

Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.
