Pumpkin cheesecake is made by mixing pumpkin purée into a cream-cheese filling, pouring it over a crumb crust, and baking until the edges are set. Chill it thoroughly before slicing so the filling firms up.
Yes, fresh pumpkin works in pumpkin cheesecake. Roast it until tender, then purée and drain it well; watery purée can make the filling loose and prevent the cheesecake from setting properly.
Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves are common in pumpkin cheesecake. Use a balanced blend rather than letting one spice dominate, and taste the purée mixture before baking if you are adjusting a homemade spice mix.
Pumpkin cheesecake often cracks when it is overmixed, overbaked, or cooled too quickly. Mix just until smooth, remove it while the center still has a slight wobble, and let it cool gradually before refrigerating.
No, a water bath is not essential, but it helps pumpkin cheesecake bake gently and evenly. Wrap the springform pan securely to keep water out, or place a pan of hot water on a lower oven rack instead.
Pumpkin cheesecake is done when the outer portion looks set but the center still jiggles slightly when the pan is nudged. It will continue to firm up as it cools and chills, so avoid baking until the middle is rigid.
Yes, pumpkin cheesecake is a good make-ahead dessert. Bake it the day before serving and chill it covered overnight; add whipped cream or other toppings shortly before serving so they stay fresh.
Pumpkin cheesecake keeps for about 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator when covered or stored in an airtight container. Refrigerate it within two hours of serving and keep toppings separate if they soften easily.
Yes, pumpkin cheesecake freezes well. Freeze it whole or in individually wrapped slices, then thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. Add fresh toppings after thawing, since whipped cream can lose its texture in the freezer.
Yes, canned pumpkin purée is convenient for pumpkin cheesecake and gives a consistent texture. Use plain pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, which already contains sweetener and spices.

Pumpkin cheesecake combines a creamy filling of cream cheese and pumpkin purée with a crumb crust. It is a popular American take on cheesecake, often flavoured with cinnamon and other spices associated with autumn baking.
Rich, smooth and gently spiced, it is usually served in modest slices as a dessert, with coffee or tea. Outside the United States, it also works well as a make-ahead choice for a gathering or holiday meal. It is energy-dense, with much of its energy coming from fat and carbohydrates, while providing little fibre. For a lighter serving, keep the slice small and skip extra whipped cream or sweet sauce.
