Ingredients
  

  • 2 3/4 cups of Flour plus 3 tablespoons flour for the cream cheese mixture.
  • 2 packages of Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Butter
  • 2 1/2 cups of white Sugar and
  • 1 cup of Icing Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Water
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Salt
  • 4 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
  • 2/ 3 rds of a can of Pumpkin puree

Instructions
 

  • The Crust
  • Cream the butter, flour and 1 1/2 cups sugar together. Add one egg. Beat until smooth. Add the baking soda, baking powder and salt to the mix. Beat. When mix is smooth pour it into a coated baking pan.
  • Set oven to 350 at the highest and bake for ten minutes. Remove from oven. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl make pumpkin cheesecake.
  • Start with room temperature cream cheese.
  • Add half of the pumpkin puree, 1 cup of sugar and an egg. Add three tablespoons of flour. Beat it together. Add one more egg.
  • Beat. Add sour cream, and cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Pour over the chilled crust.
  • Take remaining pumpkin from the recipe and using a fork swirl it into the cheesy mixture. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes on 350. Keep a close eye on this as you don't want it to burn.
  • Remove from oven and refrigerate.
  • Make the glaze.
  • Combine 1 package of cream cheese (room temperature) and icing sugar. Blend together. Then add one tablespoon of water. Mix until it is a thin icing consistency.
  • When the remaining recipe is cool enough pour the icing glaze on it.
  • Cut into squares that are bite sized. Place in small decorative cupcake liner. Easier to eat in one bite that way. You can also serve on a plate as shown in image above. This tastes like pumpkin flavoured cinnabons. So good..
