Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pumpkin Streusel Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand, then pour it into the prepared springform pan.
- Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and mix until combined.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree until fully blended, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until just combined.
- Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and softened butter until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Let the cheesecake cool for 15-20 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
