Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Topping
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Cinnamon sugar, for garnish
- Cinnamon sticks, for garnish
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg, and continue beating until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
- Assemble: Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Chill: Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set fully.
- Serve: Before serving, top the cheesecake with whipped cream, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top, and garnish with cinnamon sticks for an extra festive touch.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal and clean edges when serving.
- Refrigerate overnight for best texture and flavor infusion.
- Can be garnished with additional cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance flavor.
- For a firmer texture, a small amount of gelatin could be added to the filling if desired.
