Ingredients

  • 1 Cup + 2 Tbsp Sugar divided
  • 1 1/2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 6 Tbsp Butter melted
  • 1/2 cup Pure Pumpkin
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 Tbsp Vanilla
  • 3 packages (8 oz) Cream Cheese softened
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 2 Tbsp Flour

Instructions

For the Crust:

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter together in a medium bowl, until well combined.
  • Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper to make it easier to pop the cheesecake out of the pan.
  • Dump the crumb mixture into the pan, and use your hands to pack it down, and bring it slightly up the sides of the pan.

Filling & Cooking:

  • Preheat your grill to 275 degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla, salt, flour, and sour cream. Mix until well combined.
  • Add in the eggs and beat until fully mixed, making sure not to over mix.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the graham cracker crust.
  • Add spoonfuls of pumpkin on top of the batter, then use a butter knife to make swirls slightly into the cheesecake mixture.
  • Place a heat-proof pan or aluminum pan of water on the grill, then set the cheesecake pan on top of that..
  • Close the grill and cook the cheesecake for 2 hours.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the grill. Run a butter knife along the edges, so loosen the cheesecake from the pan. This helps to prevent cracking as the cheesecake sets.
  • Allow the cheesecake cool to room temperature on the counter. Then refrigerate and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.
