Great Cooking Videos

Hi! I’m Judy Parks from chocolatebakery.com. Today we’re going to learn how to make a pumpkin cheese cake, which is a great holiday dessert. Great for Thanksgiving, great for Christmas and other holidays.

Umm… and I will show you how to make it in a regular cake pan rather than having to go out and buy any special equipment for a cheese cake. We will start with a graham cracker crust. Which is ground graham crackers and a little bit of sugar and some melted butter. It is put into the bottom of the pan with a piece of parchment paper. Aa… if you don’t like graham crackers, you can use gingersnaps or vanilla wafers or any other kind of cookie that you like. We’re going to pat the crust down and then, actually press it down as hard as you can with, I’m using a measure cup here. Just get it pressed and hard like so. and then it will go into the oven for 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. When it comes out of the oven it will be nice and firm. And it will allow you to cut your cake nicely, and serve nice pieces that don’t crumble on you.
