Method

In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and salt. In a large bowl, blend softened cream cheese with pumpkin then add sugar mixture. Beat in eggs, one at a time, add vanilla, flour and cornstarch then mix until blended. Fold in sour cream and blend until smooth. Butter a 10 inch springform pan. Place batter filled pan in cold oven and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Turn off oven without opening door. Do not open oven door for at least 4 hours after initial baking time. Remove from oven, remove springform sides, cover and chill overnight before serving. Top with whipped cream.

 

Notes: Try not to overbeat mixture during any stage of preparation. Over mixing will cause cracking on the top of the finished cheesecake.

 

Number of Servings: 12-16
