A creamy and indulgent cheesecake with bold pumpkin flavors and a stunning marbled swirl, perfect for fall gatherings and holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and flour until smooth. Take about 1 cup of the cheesecake filling and gently fold it into the pumpkin mixture.
  4. Pour the plain cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Dollop the pumpkin mixture onto the filling in random spots. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the two fillings together to create a marbled effect.
  5. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  6. Let the cheesecake cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) before serving.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality cream cheese and pure pumpkin puree. Don’t overmix the batter to avoid cracks, and chill the cheesecake overnight for optimal flavor and texture.
