Method of Preparation for Cheesecake:
With an electric mixer, mix the cream cheese and sugar until it is free of lumps. Add the pumpkin and spices. Mix until all the items are completely combined. Add the eggs slowly, mixing and scraping as you go. Last, mix in the heavy cream. Set aside.

Method of Preparation for Crust:
Mix together Graham Cracker crumbs and only enough butter to hold the crumbs together. Pack this crust in a half-inch layer on the bottom of a 10" greased cake pan.
