  3. Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugars and vanilla, blending well. Fold in pumpkin puree, spices, and eggs one at a time.
  4. Pour filling into the crust. Bake in a water bath for 65 minutes until set around the edges but jiggly in the center.
  5. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let cheesecake cool in the oven for 5 hours. Transfer to room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate overnight.
  6. Top with whipped cream and caramel sauce before serving. Garnish with nuts or chocolate shavings if desired.
