Instructions
Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C).
Make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool.
Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated.
Spice it up: Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until just combined.
Add the stars: Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and nuts (if using) gently.
Build your cake: Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Tap gently to release air bubbles.
Bake it: Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven and crack the door open to cool gradually.
Chill out: Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
