Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust

for @stormygreyskies1934 (though anybody else can have it if they want); recipe below cut

Ingredients Crust: 3/4 cup pecans 1/2 cup sugar [Originally the recipe said 3 tbsp, but we accidentally put 1 cup in, making it too sweet. However, this actually turned out beneficial, as the added sugar caramelized the crust and helped prevent it from crumbling. So 1/2 cup is the tentative middle ground.] 1 1/2 cup gingersnap crumbs (approx. 30 cookies) 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake: 1 1/2 lb cream cheese, room temp 1 cup packed brown sugar 3/4 sour cream, room temp 1 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, packed 4 eggs, room temp 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon pinch of ground cloves pinch of ground ginger pecan halves (for garnish)

Preheat oven to 325 F. Place pecans and first amount of sugar in food processor and pulse until pecans are finely chopped. Pour in a large bowl and add gingersnap crumbs and melted butter. Combine until you have a evenly-distributed paste.

Pour mixture into 10 in. cheesecake pan and press against bottom and sides to form a crust (go all the way up to the top of the sides). Bake for approx. 15 min until mostly firm, then allow to cool. Do not turn off oven.

Beat the cream cheese and brown sugar in a mixer until soft and well blended. Stir in sour cream and pumpkin. Gradually beat in eggs one at a time before finally adding the spices. Make sure all ingredients are well mixed.

Pour filling over cheesecake crust and bake for 45 min. Make sure you have a pan filled with shallow water on a rack underneath the cheesecake to keep it moist. Then lower oven temp to 225 and bake for an additional 15 min. Turn off oven, leaving cheesecake in oven to cool. Top of cheesecake should be slightly springy but not moist. Arrange pecans around edge of cheesecake and top with whipped cream [I recommend the whipped cream].

You have a harry potter class?! *is jealous* I'd buy!

I do! I believe this is the first year this class is being offered at my university, and it’s awesome, because everyone in that class is a nerd. And yeah, I’d probably buy that if it came out
