Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

- Assemble: Pour the pumpkin cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
