Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 32 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • For the Pumpkin Swirl:
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in heavy cream until just combined.
  3. Create the Pumpkin Swirl: In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture over the cheesecake filling. Pour the remaining cheesecake filling over the pumpkin mixture. Use a knife to swirl the pumpkin mixture into the cheesecake filling.
  5. Bake: Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  6. Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice. Serve chilled.

Notes

Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for an extra touch of fall flavor.
