Step-by-Step Instructions for Holiday Spice Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a springform pan by greasing the bottom.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well blended. Press into the prepared springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated and brown sugars until smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
- Lightly beat eggs and gradually mix into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Add sour cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes until the center is nearly set.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 10 minutes to cool.
- Run a knife around the edge and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature before refrigerating overnight.
- Beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add powdered sugar until fluffy.
- Pipe whipped cream onto slices of cheesecake and sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.

Notes
For best results, soften cream cheese thoroughly before mixing and avoid overmixing to prevent cracks.
