Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.333 cups Melted butter
- 24 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cups Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cups Canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 0.25 cups of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended.
Scoop out 1 cup of the cream cheese filling and set it aside in a small bowl.
To the remaining filling, add the canned pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix until well combined.
Pour the pumpkin filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Then, dollop the reserved plain cream cheese filling onto the pumpkin layer in small spoonfuls.
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the plain filling into the pumpkin layer to create a marbled effect.
Place the springform pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 55 minutes, or until the center is almost set. It should still jiggle slightly when shaken.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen it. Let it cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, release the springform pan and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate. Slice and enjoy!
