  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham crackers, gingersnaps, pecans, flour, powdered sugar and butter.
  • Press evenly in the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Add 3 eggs all at once, mix on low speed just until combined.
  • Place one cup of the cream cheese mixture in a medium bowl and add to that the pumpkin, 1 egg, milk, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
  • Beat on low, just until combined.
  • Pour pumpkin mixture into the prepared springform pan.
  • Top with the remaining cream cheese mixture.
  • With a knife, gently swirl through the layers to marble.
  • Place springform in a shallow baking pan. (Do not make this a water bath, the baking pan is only to help catch any drippings.)
  • Bake in a 350° oven for 65 minutes or until the center appears to be set when shaken.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
  • Loosen the crust from the sides and cool for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Remove sides of the pan.
  • Cool completely.
  • Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • Spread cool whip on the top and sprinkle with roasted pecans.
Fall is the time for pumpkin, but this outstanding cheesecake, prepared with canned pumpkin, is great year round. Serve with a garnish of pecans and a dollop of whipped cream for a fantastic dessert treat. Search our site for more pumpkin recipes.
