Prepare the Cheesecake

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed gingersnap cookies, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into a 9-inch springform pan, covering the bottom evenly.
  4. Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
  5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy, then gradually add sugar and vanilla extract.
  6. Reduce speed to low and add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, mixing until spices are integrated.
  8. Layer cheesecake batter, pumpkin mixture, and remaining batter in the crust, swirling together with a knife.
  9. Wrap the pan in aluminum foil, place in a larger roasting pan filled with hot water, and bake for 55 to 65 minutes.
  10. Once baked, crack the oven door and let cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
