Pumpkin Cheesecake Dairy And Gluten Free Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk almond meal, slivered almonds, 1/4 cup sugar, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl; stir in butter until almond mixture is evenly moistened. Pour almond mixture into a 10-inch springform pan and press firmly into the bottom.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is set, about 10 minutes. Remove crust from oven and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a pan of hot water onto the bottom rack of the oven to help reduce cracking in the cheesecake.
• Beat cream cheese, sour cream, pumpkin puree, 1 cup sugar, eggs, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl using an electric mixer, scraping bottom and sides of bowl frequently, until filling is smooth. Pour filling over hot crust.
• Place pan on the center rack in oven and bake until cheesecake peaks in the center, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature before removing sides of pan. Transfer cheesecake to a serving plate and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator before serving, at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Directions:.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Make Crust:.
• Run butter stick along bottom and sides of springform pan.
• Melt the rest.
• Grind cookies in food processor then add melted butter and press mixture into pan.
• Bake for 15-20 min until slightly brown.
• Make Filling:.
• Boil water for water bath.
• Beat cream cheese until smooth.
• add sugar, mix.
• add sour cream, mix.
• add pumpkin, mix.
• add beaten eggs, vanilla, spices and cornstarch & mix.
• Pour into crust.
• 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.
• 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.).
• Allow to cool on rack.
• Run a knife around the edges and refrigerate for 6-8hrs or overnight until firm.
• *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!
