Cheesecake Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350F (175C).

  • In a stand mixer, beat together softened cream cheese and sugars until lump-free.
  • Add sour cream and stir well.
  • Add vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice and stir until well-combined.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just mixed after each addition.
  • Spread cheesecake batter over prepared crust.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or longer, until the center is almost set.
  • Allow cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then chill for 6 hours or overnight.

Cinnamon Whipped Cream Preparation

  • Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Use an electric mixer on low-speed, gradually increasing to high until stiff peaks form.
  • Pipe or dollop whipped cream over chilled cheesecake.

Notes
