A luscious and creamy pumpkin swirl cheesecake that combines the warm flavors of pumpkin spice with the smoothness of cheesecake, perfect for fall gatherings or a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  2. Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent air bubbles. Fold in sour cream and vanilla extract until the batter is silky.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
  4. Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture on top, then swirl gently using a knife or skewer. Repeat with the remaining cheesecake batter and pumpkin mixture.
  5. Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaks, then place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  6. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 1 hour before transferring it to the fridge. Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
  7. Carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan before releasing the springform. Slice and serve your gorgeous pumpkin swirl cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream!
