Crust:
1 pkg ( 7 oz ) Graham crackers or any kind of sweet cracker
1/4 tsp salt
4 Tbsp melted butter
2 Tbsp brown sugar
Filling:
 16 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese
 2/3 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp corn starch
1/4 tsp Sea salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp of each spice (ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice)  & ginger powder
Caramel:
1/2 cup sugar
4 oz (1/3 cup) milk
1 tbsp flour
3/4 oz butter
1/4 tsp salt
Topping:
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar

Preparation

1 For Crust: 2 Crack the crackers. 3 Add salt, brown sugar and melted butter. 4 Mix with hands. 5 Cover the Springform Pan with Parchment Paper. 6 Put the crackers mix into the cheesecake pan. 7 Spread it evenly and press it with a drinking glass all around. 8 Put it into a freezer for a few minutes while you mix up the cheesecake batter. 9 For Filling: 10 Place room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, salt and brown sugar to stand mixer equipped with a whisk attachment and mix at medium speed to cream. 11 Add pumpkin puree and cornstarch into the bowl and mix on medium speed until creamy. 12 Crack eggs, add vanilla extract and spices (see Ingredients). Scrape the bowl down and mix a few seconds more until smooth. 13 Pour the batter into the 8 inch springform pan. 14 Tap the Springform pan to get rid of the air bubbles. 15 Add 1 cup of water into Instant Pot. 16 Place the steam rack inside the Instant Pot. 17 Put the cheesecake form on the steam rack. 18 Close the lid and turn the steam release handle to “Sealing” position. 19 Select “Pressure Cook” program with “High Pressure” settings and set time to 28 minutes. 20 When it is done, wait another 5 minutes. Open the pressure cooker using Natural Release. 21 Take out the Pumpkin Cheesecake from Instant Pot and let it cool down. Here is a tip for you to avoid extra moisture: leave the cake on the rack and cover it with the paper tower and microwave plastic lid on the top. The paper towel will absorb moisture and the cake will stay dry. 22 For Caramel: 23 Let's make caramel. Add flour into the casserole and fry it until golden brown. Add sugar and butter, melt it. Keep stirring until it becomes completely homogenous. Now it's time to add hot milk: pour it slowly and keep stirring it continuously until it's ready (no undissolved bits). Add salt (if desired). 24 Pour caramel into the Pumpkin Cheesecake and spread it evenly. Don't be shy, move it around. 25 Refrigerate it for a few hours. For the best results leave it in the fridge overnight. 26 For Topping: 27 You can garnish the cake with dollops of whipped cream before serving or enjoy plain. 28 For whipped cream dollops combine sugar with whipping cream and whisk it. 29 Decorate with cookie press or piping bag. 30 Sprinkle with grounded cinnamon 31 Enjoy the Pumpkin Cheesecake – easy and no-bake Halloween sweet treat!
