1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a smooth bottom round 9 inch spring form pan with cooking spray. Empty dry crust ingredients into a food processor and pulse for 15 to 20 seconds. Contents sound look like graham cracker crumbs. Melt butter and gradually pour into crumbs and mix until all crumbs are wet. About 8 to 10 pulses on food processor. Press mixture firmly into bottom and 3/4 inch up the sides of spring form pan.Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Crust should have an uniform golden brown color and be firm to the touch. Place on cooling rack and cool completely. This can take up to 30 minutes.

2. While crust is baking, mix together pumpkin, yogurt and spices in a medium size bowl. Batter should look smooth and a light pumpkin color. Cover and refrigerate until crust is baked and cooled.

3. When crust is ready, combine sugar and gelatine in a small bowl until evenly mixed. Split open vanilla bean exposing the seeds. Place bean in small sauce pan with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil stirring constantly using edge of spoon on vanilla bean. Empty bean and boiling water into sugar-gelantine bowl and stir for five minutes. Remove bean and pour in pumpkin yogurt batter. Stir until smooth and creamy. Regrigerate for 15 minutes. Then slowly pour in cooled crust.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
