Ingredients (view qty in metric system instead)
Crust: 3/4 cup gingersnap cookie crumbs 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup melted butter
Filling: 16 ounces softened cream cheese 1 cup sugar 4 large eggs 16 ounce can pumpkin puree 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground ginger 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/2 cup Kahlua liqueur
Directions
For Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap the outside of an 8 inch springform pan tightly with foil. Stir together gingersnap and graham crumbs with powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Add melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake crust 5 minutes. Transfer pan to a rack and cool while preparing filling.
For Filling: Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Transfer 1 cup of the cream cheese mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and Kahlua. Pour 1/2 of the pumpkin batter over the prepared crust. Top with half of the cream cheese batter. Repeat layering once more. Cut through the batter layers in 5 to 6 places with the tip of a knife to create a marbled look. Transfer cheesecake to a large roasting pan. Add enough hot water to come halfway up sides of the springform. Reduce oven to 300 degrees and bake cheesecake about 1 hour until set. Discard foil and refrigerate cheesecake overnight.
Rub a warm, damp towel around the outside of the springform. Carefully remove pan sides. Slice cheesecake with a hot knife.
Serves 8 to 10.
