How to make cheesecake tart

This recipe is a base for classic New York cheesecake, with addition of pumpkin spice and pumpkin purée. Very easy and classic recipe. I always use this base for all my cheesecakes and then, if needed I am adding different flavors or adjust a bit the ratio of sugar, cream cheese or eggs, if needed.

Graham crackers or crumbs

Very good question. The classic version of cheesecake is made with graham base. So when it comes to the decision to buy rather graham crackers or crumbs, I am on the team of crumbs. It’s easy to work with, ready to be used at any time and food processor not needed.

Cream cheese

I prefer using good quality cream cheese and the best winner in my kitchen is Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese. If you prefer light version of cream cheese, go for it. The taste will be slightly less creamy, but will work as well.

Chocolate chips

I used for this recipe milk chocolate chips, but you may use dark chocolate, peanut butter chips or you can completely omit the chocolate chips. I find that pumpkin spice and purée goes so well with chocolate.

Pumpkin purée & pumpkin spice

Use a good quality pumpkin purée. I prefer brand E.D. Smith. They have the best tasting pumpkin purée. Pumpkin spice makes a huge different, if you use a good quality one too.

Ingredients must be at room temperature

Make sure your cream cheese, eggs, butter are at room temperature. It is crucial especially for cream cheese, to be soft, before beating. This will assure you to have creamy cheesecake with no lumps.

The only ingredient you do not keep in room temperature is whipped cream. This on the other hand has to be very cold. Do not whip the cream without prior chilling the whipped cream. I suggest also refrigerate for 20 minutes the bowl and whisk before whipping the cream.

How big the tart pan should be for pumpkin spice cheesecake tart

In this recipe I am using tart pan of 12″, which is more shallow and the baking time is shorter than usual baking of cheesecake in traditional 8″ or 9″ removable side springform.

Storage

You can store the pumpkin spice cheesecake tart in airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Or freeze it in airtight container up to 3 months. To defrost the cheesecake, let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
