Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 15 graham crackers
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 8 tablespoons melted butter

Pumpkin Filling:

  • 1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 ½ teaspoons each: pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon flour

  • 1â…” cups sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • â…› teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan lined with foil.
  2. Crust: Crush graham crackers in a food processor. Mix crumbs with sugar and melted butter. Press into the pan and bake 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
  3. Filling: Whisk pumpkin puree, spices, and flour. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla, sour cream, and salt, then eggs one at a time.
  4. Set aside 1 ½ cups of the cream cheese mixture. Stir it into the pumpkin mixture.
  5. Pour half the cream cheese batter into the cooled crust. Add the pumpkin mixture and then top with remaining cream cheese batter. Swirl the mixtures with a knife.
  6. Bake 35-45 minutes until the center jiggles slightly. Cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for best texture.
  • Buy pure pumpkin puree, not filling.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid cracks.
  • Chill for at least 8 hours, cool completely first.
  • Leftovers store in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for 1 month.
