Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9" springform pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 6-8 minutes. Do not let it brown.
Prepare the Cheesecake: Make sure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature (this is important!). Beat cream cheese, 1 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy. Beat in eggs, pumpkin, and evaporated milk. Add cornstarch, 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat well.
Pour into prepared crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes. The edge should be set and the middle still moves slightly.
Prepare the Topping: Combine sour cream, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla. Spread over cheesecake. Bake for 5 minutes more. Refrigerate cheesecake over night.
