Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the pumpkin swirl filling:

2 cups cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

½ tsp ground ginger

¼ tsp salt

For the topping:

1 cup whipped cream (for serving)

1 tbsp caramel sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

    Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

      Blend the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer on high speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

        Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.

          Separate the Mixture: Remove about 1 cup of the cheesecake mixture and set it aside in a separate bowl.

            Make the Pumpkin Mixture: To the remaining cheesecake mixture in the larger bowl, add the pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

              Create the Swirl: Pour half of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust. Then, spoon dollops of the reserved plain cheesecake mixture on top. Add the rest of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture on top and finish with another layer of plain cheesecake dollops.

                Swirl the Mixtures: Using a knife or a skewer, gently swirl through the mixtures to create a marbled effect.

                  Bake: Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 55-65 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.

                    Cool: Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for about an hour. This helps prevent cracking. Afterward, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

                      Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired. Slice and enjoy this delectable pumpkin cheesecake delight!
