Amazing Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

[@nataliefulton823]

I love that you always give weights!

[@GeriRupert]

Everything I have made turns out wonderful. It’s like cooking class with John every time. He explains what to do and why he is doing it. Soooo many tips. I learn sooooo much thank you John.

[@tammyclark4618]

I never use the water bath method, it's completely unnecessary. I just put a pan of boiling water in the oven with it and it works just fine. It's all about the moisture in the oven, no wasted aluminum foil and all the steps that go with it. Mine always comes out great no matter the kind or style of cheesecake.

[@roxpr2000]

Yep. The pan of water and letting the cheesecake cool in the oven after turning it off are key to avoiding cracks. Mine come out beautiful every single time. Never bother with the water bath any more.

[@maca8778]

Great tip, thank you!

[@luv2garden132]

Thank you! I stopped making cheesecake because somehow, no matter how thick the aluminum foil was, water _always_ got in! Runny cheesecake isn't fun to pull out. Not to mention all the money and wasted time. I'll try this next time! I've always left it in the oven. There is no such thing as a waterproof springform pan. Doesn't exist. My oven isn't fancy like his, though 😂

[@michaelharman1816]

I find the water bath SIGNIFICANTLY a superior texture than jus baking.... it's SO smooth and delicate... after trying it you'll never just bake it!,,,

[@KrisCortez]

Damn that's genius. I'll have to try that next time.

[@linda.christie]

I was taught to put the roasting pan with the filled springform pan ON the oven rack before filling with water. 1. It's not hot yet. 2. There is no chance of spilling water on the floor or into the cake. Considering I am not the most graceful person, I found this tip really useful. LOL

[@TheROMaNProject]

I made this yesterday, “wow”! This is a surprising dessert, not heavy like a cheesecake, but more body and flavor than a pumpkin mousse.

[@dannysunay4386]

But it is a cheesecake! Of course if it comes out heavy, you did it wrong! It is supposed to come out light and creamy! 🥴

[@SIXSTRING63]

Very nice cheesecake. Love the stove in your kitchen with the old water faucet handle style knobs. My wife and I enjoy your channel very much. We both enjoyed cooking over our 30+ years together. Recently she has been plagued with some debilitating health issues and is not able to cook. I have been finding some great cooking channels such as yours to find some new exciting and tasty recipes to try. I like to surprise her and make her smile as much as possible. If I can make a tasty treat for her it is worth it in exchange for that smile. Thanks for sharing your great recipes and the joy you bring to everyone. 🙂🙂

[@karolfernandez8427]

❤que bonito que este señor cocine para su Esposa Dios los cuide y llene de muchas Bendiciones.

[@cathybaldry7822]

Count me in, and that tip about putting a marshmallow un with brown sugar is really handy, thank you.

[@joecolleenjenkins3462]

Usually - cooking shows talk too much - but your an exception - i love listening to you and you give someone like me great tips - I think your a great teacher -somehow you have the right balance - thank you for helping me --

[@bobsholtes4221]

I have been making a number of your recipes over the past year to great reviews, but this cheesecake was above and beyond! Thanks for an amazing recipe.

[@donsumner9268]

Biscoff cookies would make a great crust or ginger snap cookies would work as well. Pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving or the holidays is a must-have for our table. Thank you for sharing, John!

[@christinebrennan4484]

I use shortbread cookies a lot because you just need to crush them since they already have so much butter...they take seasoning well too.

[@janicedeeter577]

Ginger snaps...great idea😊

[@craigmcgee]

Cinnamon toast crunch cereal also works beautifully. Just gotta use less cinnamon.

[@michelled.3849]

Mmm…or chocolate grahams.chocolate pumpkin cheesecake yum!!

[@bearpawz_]

@@janicedeeter577 Definitely great! I usually do 50/50 graham & gingersnaps. I'm so glad John posted this... ((YUM!!)) 😋

[@sdarms111doug9]

I made this for our thanksgiving (instead of pumpkin pie). I took the iPad to the kitchen and followed the directions step-by-step and exactly (except I didn't have sour cream so I used yogurt instead, worked great). First time I ever made a cheesecake and it came out as good as at a restaurant. Next time I might add a bit more pumpkin though, I would have liked a stronger pumpkin flavor. This recipe is a winner!

[@aiderysandoval]

John is the prime example of “do what I say not what I do” 😂😂😂 Never fails in every video 😅🤣

[@clairewyndham1971]

Amazing! I paid 35.00 for a pumpkin cheesecake 25 years ago it really was so good. I keep looking for a caramel cheesecake recipie!

[@VlogBiteswithMai]

Hi John, I found your pumpkin cheesecake recipe on Google, and I have made it about 5 times since Thanksgiving. My whole family loves the recipe. I baked two cheesecakes and there were never any left to take home. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@mellycolon7079]

Literally have it in the oven, my husband will be happy! He’s a big pumpkin spice everything lover 🤣💙 btw, been using all your recipes so far and it has been amazing 😍😍😍 thank you! 😊

[@babyblue7798]

how was it?

[@bchild10]

Ahh good to know so I can save my aluminum foil for other side dishes.

[@judymcguire9363]

you make me smile, even on my worst days. and i've had a few? thank you John for keepin it real!

[@ladywhiskerfield]

Made this for family Thanksgiving today. First time I've made cheesecake. It came out perfect (water bath no crack) and everyone loved it! Not even crumbs left. This is a keeper. Thank you, John. Preppy Kitchen is my favorite and first go-to for recipes.

[@ratterrierdogma]

I use ginger snaps for my crust. SO GOOD!

[@Minnie24723]

I’ve been using Biscoff cookies in my cheesecake crusts for a while now. Wonderful.

[@lindseycree]

Made this for Thanksgiving today. My family LOVED it! Definitely a new family tradition🤎🍁

[@judysadowsky2186]

This cheesecake will be on my dinner table for Thanksgiving. Thank John for this yummy recipe.

[@MarthaCarrillo1]

You're AMAZING thank you..thank you Sir for sharing your delicious & extraordinary recipes with us 😍💯💖🤗 Unfortunately, I'm just learning how to cook @my old age! I have to mention how GREAT you are & of course thank you again for allowing us to learn how to cook! Which some of us didn't have the honor of knowing you 😊❤😍 I have been looking for a pumpkin cheesecake recipe thank you sweetheart!! EVERYTHING YOU MAKE LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN just heavenly delicious 😁😍❤ Please continue teaching us how to cook all of your amazing recipes my good friend 😊😍🤗

[@LunaMail]

I've been working on a swirl combo of your regular cheesecake crossed with your pumpkin cheesecake, always love your recipes!!! 😊 Thank you for sharing your delicious creations!

[@klittlees8505]

I like this recipe over the one you posted 3 years ago. Turned out amazing. I bought a water pan to put my cheesecake pan on. Makes it easier.

[@bottomofthemap696]

Man, this cheesecake definitely tastes better than any cheesecake I think I may have ever had in my entire life. I did get big cracks but I remove the cheesecake while the middle was slightly jiggly still and everything turned out so delicious! Thank you for the great recipe! I even bought a springform pan just so I could make this

[@Uh0hitsme]

Question how much brown sugar did you use (1/2 cup?)

[@sharonharrison3611]

I love pumpkin everything too. That looks sooo good. I think I've went to pumpkin cheesecake heaven!🩷😇

[@opallise]

I've been thinking about making a pumpkin cheesecake for weeks. I couldn't find my old recipe, so this was super timely for me. Thanks!

[@theon9575]

Yum! But I like to use fresh pumpkin. Yes, it's more work !😫 But it's seasonal, it tastes better, it hasn't been super-heated, it contains no artificial preservatives, and there's no throw-away tin can (environmentally more-friendly). Win/win. 🤓👍🏻

[@xaviervasquez4745]

I'm usually a stickler for measuring precisely and John said to use "ten sheets of graham crackers" and also said to use 90 grams. However, I have a box of Nabisco Honey Maid graham crackers and it had three packages in the box - each with 9 sheets of graham crackers. Nine of these sheets already weigh 140 grams! What am I missing here??

[@rachaelk.5754]

Same! I measured out 90 grams, and it was like 5 or 6 sheets?!

[@natalialarikova8443]

I just added more as I saw the crust is more buttery than on the video

[@TheAbbybwood]

I have a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake I got maybe 30 years ago from the Los Angeles Times’ “Culinary SOS”. It was from a restaurant in Northern Cal called “The Sea Chest”. The kicker was a T. of cinnamon plus ginger, nutmeg and cloves AND a third cup of brandy! Always a huge hit for Thanksgiving!

[@angel513301]

Would you please share this recipe?

[@heidibriley2434]

How much ginger, nutmeg & cloves?

[@tinytelephones]

Sounds delicious! How do you add the brandy?

[@jamilahzahirahhadid]

Pleeeaasseee share the recipe!

[@Blossomvalleyaussies]

I made this last fall for thanksgiving and it was beautiful and delicious!

[@rebeccabourque7704]

The only thing I can think of that would make this better is using ginger snap cookies for the crust. 😊

[@smo202]

Right off the bat I was thinking you should use the Bischoff cookies for the crust...good to see you mentioned them as an option.

[@justinhughees]

Those are way better. Definitely order them over graham cracker crust.

[@theon9575]

He said it very quickly, but he's right that speculaas cookies are great for cookie crusts, too. 😋

[@ManuelHernandezMX]

Watching your videos is a whole experience. It's like cooking with the most amazing friend you'll ever have. I adored this recipe. I'll give it a try and I declare myself a new fan of yours.

[@hmmm..2733]

I grind up nuts…this time I’m using macadamia nuts, and use them as the crust. I don’t even have to pre bake the crust, though you could. Everyone loves it. An advantage is that I can freeze the cheesecake and the nut crust doesn’t get at all soggy.

[@teriwilliams6746]

Pumpkin Cheesecake Perfection!!👏🏽👏🏽

[@selenebwilliams124]

Love your detailed instructions and tips John. It was absolutely delicious and perfect! One more awesome recipe, thank you!!

[@debbie2691]

Your kettle sounds like a train whistle. Love it, I had to replay it.

[@cathypyper3977]

AWESOME! I was planning on making this Friday and now I don't have to search fr a recipe! Thank you, great timing!

[@danimartinez8081]

I made your pumpkin cheesecake from the other video you have on here. It was a hit for thanksgiving last year and I’ve been waiting to make it again for this year.

[@Janeofalltradesish0917]

I really!!! Enjoy your videos. Even after I have the recipe, I love to listen to you talk. Your voice is very soothing.

[@BKBarb]

A big thanks! Although I didn't make this particular cheesecake, I took your advice on how to make the crust as well as beating the cream cheese. My cheesecake was the best ever! Thanks again for sharing your tips.

[@natalijaparadiso7566]

I can't ever get enough of pumpkin.......this is perfect for dinner this evening with friends .....thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes ❤ ps your Basque cheesecake is my go-to , i made it 3 times this year for get together

[@dianec.287]

Umm, I want to go through my phone and grab a slice! Looks so delicious! ❤❤❤

[@laurabenson1278]

I too am a fan of everything pumpkin, and I can't wait to try your recipe. The first cheesecake I ever made, many years ago, was pumpkin, and that's always been my favorite cheesecake. Love your videos!

[@eva5601]

I like the way he is promoting his book.

[@zoot9393]

I absolutely adore your kitchen!

[@barbaratells1285]

John, thank you so much for giving measures for the ingredients! I learned to use a scale recently and I’m loving it. I’m an everything 🎃 pumpkin lover as well and after making your delicious plain cheesecake with your recipe I ran across this glorious pumpkin recipe so today is the perfect day to try it. Loving your style and teaching method because you make it fun and I can easily understand your directions. Plus, I love that I can easily print out the recipes. I have to say thank you for all your efforts. Also, I have to say I learn a new fact or trick from you on your channel every time I watch. I watch your channel almost every day! 😊❤😊 thank you again John 😊

[@johnvoorhees2331]

My wife and I made this, we did get a soggy bottom, However EVERYONE loved Thanks!

[@PeggyLucasAssociateBroker]

Made this today for thanksgiving tomorrow….had a little left over and made 4 minis in ramekins. Best pumpkin cheese cake I’ve ever had. I’ll never buy Costco’s again.

[@LurkerSmurf]

What? When did you hit 4M? 🎉 Congratulations!!

[@rosydiaz346]

Love you bunches John!!!!! I am soooo using this recipe for a Thanksgiving dessert this year. I'm sure it'll be a hit. Everything else I've ever made from your recipes usually are. God Bless You and your fam! XOXOXO

[@Blossomvalleyaussies]

I made this last year and it was delicious and beautiful. I will be making it again this Thanksgiving.

[@OreosSweet]

These mini cakes are great gifts for special occasions! 🎁🌸

[@carolcampbell5183]

I made this few weeks ago and it was outstanding

[@tish8349]

Made this it tasted great I only put it in the oven for an hour but it definitely needed more time

[@dragonlord498]

made a pumpkin cheesecake was fairly good tasted similar to a more mild pumpkin pie as well as a standard cheesecake enjoyed it

[@candyserrano5535]

I always make this for Thanksgiving and it has become a hit!! 😊

[@mikecarr5966]

Trader Joe's triple ginger snap cookies and butter also make a really good crust for this.

[@ELITE187]

Is it only me wondering how many plaid shirts John has 😉

[@teddiev2720]

Just can’t wait to try this! Love watching you. You make me happy.😃

[@jahanas22]

I love pumpkin. I made one of these last Thanksgiving.

[@queeniebee4846]

Well, your amazing pumpkin cheesecake is in my oven currently! I hope it works out😊 I always have a difficult time with cheesecakes.

[@queeniebee4846]

Update!!!! It turned out beautifully!! Thank you so very much for this recipe!! 😊

[@gpechmann]

I just made this yesterday and it is INCREDIBLE. Thanks for another great recipe. Question. Is the water bath necessary or can you place a ramekin of water next to the springform pan in the oven like you do in other cheesecake recipes? Thank you!

[@millergrrrl]

You ought to try a nut flour crust. My daughter's friend has digestive issues, so she made a paleo cheesecake with pecan (or hazelnut, don't exactly recall which) crust. My daughter said she'll never go back to the starchier cheesecake crusts.

[@michaelkurtz1967]

Turned out very beautiful. Would be a show stopper at any event.

[@laverite1050]

John in your video you are using a paddle attachment and your written recipe says use a whisk attachment. We also needed to make more graham cracker crust to go up the sides. The crust stuck to the bottom of the pan. Maybe I should have greased it. I'm writing this so when I make it again next year I'll remember! GREAT RECIPE!!

[@pamelakimmons9209]

I bet your crust recipe that includes roasted pecans would work wonderfully too

[@TheSkeetergirl]

Oh no...I'm trying to not love pumpkin more than I do, and then you make this beauty of a cheesecake?! I'm wagging my finger at you.😍

[@marials9245]

John, this may be one of my favorite cakes ever, I’m totally gonna try to do it!!

[@suzannegogranogo9464]

Mine turned out very well. No cracks. I used the water in a separate pan rather than a bain marie.

[@HopeStevenson-b4f]

I ❤ you John, I love all your recipes, to be totally honest if I ever need any recipes you my # 1 guy, I already told my family if your going to get me anything for Christmas I want both your cook books 😍

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

This literally made me go “WOAH pumpkin cheesecake” in public.

[@calmkid3457]

I bet everyone looked at you to have some

[@MsKatherineJo]

This is definitely going to be made for Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing. I love the pan but the link takes me to a different pan. Would love to find one like yours.

[@zouzouameur1005]

Vous,êtes un grand chef Merci

[@Craxin01]

My only notes are that I find it easier to incorporate pumpkin pie spice into the sugar before mixing, I get fewer clumps of cinnamon or the like that way. I did wonder how\if you made your pumpkin puree. I've been making mine for years and freezing them in batches enough for one pie each. Even a three-year-old frozen batch tastes WAY better than canned.

[@333god_is_true]

I used the water method in a round skillet pan works great 😊

Made the cheesecake and the flavor was amazing however I used the Speculaas cookies and the crust was very greasy; next time I will decrease the amount of butter . The flavor using this cookies is the best😊

I always use a water bath, now. When I started, I only had a pan, and it was iffy for me. Never have an issue now. Recently, I just made a salted caramel, pumpkin cheesecake.
