Scale
- For the Crust:

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
- Spoon the pumpkin filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Once chilled and set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Slice the cheesecake and serve as is or with whipped cream on top. Enjoy.
