Directions:
2
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
3
Make Crust:
4
Run butter stick along bottom and sides of springform pan.
5
Melt the rest.
6
Grind cookies in food processor then add melted butter and press mixture into pan.
7
Bake for 15-20 min until slightly brown.
8
Make Filling:
9
Boil water for water bath.
10
Beat cream cheese until smooth.
11
add sugar, mix.
12
add sour cream, mix.
13
add pumpkin, mix.
14
add beaten eggs, vanilla, spices and cornstarch & mix.
15
Pour into crust.
16
When crust is cooled wrap pan with foil and fill baking pan with boiling water to half the height of the springform contents. Place cake into water bath.
17
Bake approx 1 hr till outside is set but inside is still a tiny bit loose. Then turn oven off and leave door slightly open and leave cake in oven for another 30 minute (my water had leaked into foil so I took my cake out of the water bath for this time. The water did not get into the cake though.).
18
Allow to cool on rack.
19
Run a knife around the edges and refrigerate for 6-8hrs or overnight until firm.
20
*note: we ate it after cooling 6hrs same day and it was good but it was much better the next day after sitting overnight and allowing the flavors to settle and meld. Enjoy!

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.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
