Making The Filing

  • In the meantime, start making the cake filling. Boil the water in a pot. Put a saucepan on medium heat and add the pumpkin along with salt, ginger powder, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, and cloves powder. Add the sugar and stir the mixture continuously for about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer this mixture in the food processor and add the heavy cream. While the motor is on, tip the cream cheese and eggs and process them till you get a smooth mixture.
  • Take a big roasting pan and pour the boiling water in it. Place the cake pan in this water bath.
  • Now pour the smooth batter of the food processor into this pan over the gingersnaps base and spread evenly using a spatula.
  • Insert it within the oven and let it bake for about one and a half hours. When done, take the roasting pan out of the oven with proper care and keep it on the wire rack.
  • Using a knife, scrape the edges so that the cake becomes loose. Let it sit in the water bath till the water remains warm.
  • After that, wrap the cake with plastic and put in the fridge for overnight or 4 hours minimum.

Making The Caramel Sauce

  • Put a saucepan on the heat and add the sugar, water, corn syrup, and lemon juice and let them cook till all the sugar dissolves and the color turns amber.
  • While the caramel sauce is cooking, heat up the heavy cream in a bowl and mix with the caramel sauce.

Finally Assembling The Cheesecake

Take the cake out of the fridge. Pour the caramel sauce on the top and spread it evenly. You can add a dollop of whipped cream on the top to make it more attractive.
