Step by Step Method
Step 1
Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Stir together the crust ingredients. Press to the bottom and 1 inch up side of ungreased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 6-7 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack before filling.

Cheese Cake: In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, pumpkin and evaporated milk. Add cornstarch and pumpkin pie spice; beat well. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350 and bake an additional 50 - 60 minutes; the edge is set but center still moves slightly.
