Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pumpkin Streusel Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter until fully blended. Press firm into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until creamy. Mix in granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, and eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  4. Pour the pumpkin filling over the cooled crust, spreading evenly to avoid air bubbles.
  5. Mix together all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in softened butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the cheesecake filling.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. Cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors meld.
