PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE PIE WITH GRAHAM CRACKER AND PECAN CRUST
Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, pecans, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the salt and butter in a food processor and pulse in short bursts until well combined.
- Scoop the graham cracker mixture into a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the mixture into an even layer, covering the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake until set, about 15 minutes. Set aside on a rack to cool.
- Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, cream cheese and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs to the mixture one at a time, making sure to completely incorporate each egg before adding the next. Add the pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice and beat until smooth.
- Transfer the pumpkin mixture to the cooled crust, place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until firm in the center, about 50 minutes. Remove and cool on a rack. Refrigerate until completely chilled before serving, about 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
