Alright guys! My friends over at Our Untamed Roots made this AMAZING looking cheesecake and added the recipe 😋

Who thinks I should try to make it?!

RECIPE
Cinnamon spell maple pumpkin cheesecake

Fend for yourself on the crust.

I used crumbled up maple cookies that I made yesterday and mixed it with crumbled expensive cheerios from the co-op for emerald but she isn't a fan 🤣 I processed it all in the food chopper then mixed it with a tablespoon of melted butter and pressed it down in the pan for the crust.... do what you'd like on the crust. It's October so get creative 🎃😆🫪

Heat oven to 325°F.

Have everything at room temperature before mixing.

24 oz full-fat cream cheese
¾ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup white sugar
1 cup pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling
3 large eggs
½ cup sour cream
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1 Tbsp vanilla
1½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp nutmeg
Tiny pinch ground cloves
½ tsp fine salt
2 TBS all purpose unbleached flour

Beat cream cheese until completely smooth.

Add maple syrup and sugar and mix just until silky.

Add pumpkin, sour cream, cream, vanilla, spices, salt and flour

Then add the eggs one at a time on LOW, stopping as soon as each disappears. Or if you have a 1 year old helping you then add all the eggs at once and hope for the best



The cinnamon spell swirl

Mix
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1½ tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp melted butter
Pinch of salt
Drizzle it in thin ribbons over the cheesecake. Run a butter knife through it only 3–4 sweeping passes. Don't fully mix it in.

Bake
Put the springform pan on a baking sheet

Beside the cheesecake place 2 oven safe bowls of water to prevent cracking or drying of your cheesecake

Bake at 325°F for about 65–80 minutes.

You want edges that are set while the center 2–3 inches still have a delicate wobble when nudged.

Turn the oven off, crack the door, and leave the cheesecake inside roughly 45 minutes.

Remove it, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight. We never wait till overnight 🫣😆🤣

I made a homemade whipped topping using heavy whipping cream (I didn't measure but probably 1 cup-ish) a tbs of pumpkin purée, splash of vanilla, and 1 tbs maple syrup) beat on high until it makes whipped cream

Spread over the top of your cooled cheesecake

I then made a quick maple caramel for a drizzle 🫪😴 if you are still with me LOL

In a sauce pan add 1/4 cup maple syrup and cook on low until it reduces by half, cool for a few minutes.... drizzle over your cheesecake slice before serving

I also did a dusting of pumpkin pie spice over the top because hello this is a cinnamon spell cheesecake 💸✨️💸😆 let the abundance come flying in... or at the very least enjoy the moment, a bad ass dessert, and the fact that it is October.
