Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) gingersnap cookies, crushed
  • 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold

Instructions

  1. Crush the gingersnap cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a plastic bag and rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine crushed cookies, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until evenly coated and press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate to set.
  3. Soften cream cheese to room temperature to avoid lumps.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix until fully combined.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture using a rubber spatula to maintain lightness.
  7. Pour filling over chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  8. Before serving, remove the springform pan rim. Garnish with whipped cream, crushed gingersnaps, or toasted nuts as desired.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to keep the filling light and airy. Chill overnight for best texture. For a firmer crust, bake the crust at 350°F for 8 minutes before chilling. Gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions are possible.
