Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Use 1–2 large pieces of aluminum foil to cover bottom and sides of 9-inch springform pan. (This technique will reduce leaks when using a water bath.)
- Add gingersnap cookies and walnuts to WildSide+ jar. Secure lid, select Speed 1, and run for 5 seconds.
- Add butter, water, and cinnamon to jar and secure lid. Select Speed 1, and run for 10 seconds.
- Press crust evenly into spring-form pan along bottom and up sides about 1 inch.
- Clean WildSide+ jar, and add pumpkin, eggs, Neufchâtel cheese, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, salt, and pumpkin pie spice to jar. Secure lid and select "Batter" or blend on Medium Low (speed 3 or 4) for 30 seconds. Pour filling over crust.
- Place spring-form pan inside of larger pan that is 2–3 inches deep. Pour approximately 1 inch of boiling water into larger pan.
- Carefully place pan in oven, and bake for 90 minutes. (The center of cheesecake will jiggle but will complete cooking during the cooling process.)
- Cool cheesecake completely, and then place in refrigerator until sufficiently chilled, about 10–12 hours.
- Serve with your favorite whipped cream or caramel topping.
Exactly what is the amount of a "package" of Neufchatel cheese? Since I make my own cheese, "package" isn’t enough information. Ditto cream cheese.
A package is 8 ounces.
what kind of cheese is Neufchatel
It is a French cheese similar to cream cheese but with a lower fat content.
will make this for Thanksgiving for sure
