Pumpkin Cheesecake

 In the spirit of Thanksgiving I decided to make Pumpkin Cheesecake and it turned out fabulous. It's really easy to make and tastes so good! Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

 Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham crumbs
5 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 Tbsp. sugar

Filling:
3- 7oz.pkgs. pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's ( If you can't get the Trader Joe's brand then use regular cream cheese and add a can of pumpkin puree)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix crust ingredients together, just till coated and crumbly. Press onto the bottom and  sides of  pan. Bake for 5 min. at 350. Set aside.

Combine cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl, mix until smooth with an electric mixer. add pumpkin eggs, and spices, beat till smooth and creamy.

Pour into the crust. Bake for 60-70 mins or till the top turns a bit darker. Remove from oven and allow to come to room temperature, then refrigerate.

After it has thoroughly chilled, remove the pan sides and cut.
