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:
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • For the Pumpkin Swirl:
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

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

Notes

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