Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz ginger snap cookies (crushed)
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 5 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 32 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup superfine sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set it inside a larger roasting pan.
  2. For the crust, mix crushed ginger snap cookies, melted butter, and pumpkin pie spice until combined. Press into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in pumpkin puree, sugar, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon until well blended.
  4. Pour the filling over the crust. Place the springform pan in the roasting pan filled halfway with boiling water. Bake for about 85 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool completely before refrigerating for several hours or overnight. Just before serving, sprinkle superfine sugar on top and use a culinary torch to caramelize until golden brown.
