08 Step
Recipe View

10 Step
Recipe View
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, or a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
For an even smoother cheesecake, ensure your cream cheese is completely softened before mixing.
Do not overbake the cheesecakes, as this can cause them to crack. A slight jiggle in the center is ideal.
To prevent the graham cracker crusts from burning, you can shield them with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Feel free to customize the spices to your liking. A pinch of ground ginger or cloves can add a unique twist.
For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
