With swirls of pumpkin filling, caramel and a gingersnap crust, this autumnal cheesecake is a delight.

Sour Cream Cheesecake

When it comes to the classic graham cracker crust, Alton prefers a coarse crumb to a fine one. The best way to achieve this? Crushing the crackers by hand. “Sure, you can do it in the food processor,” he says. “But it would be too even. You want to end up with a lot of big pieces integrated with a lot of little crumbs.”

Mascarpone Cheesecake with Almond Crust
