Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and flour. Add half of the cream cheese mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir until well combined.
5. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cream cheese mixture on top. Use a knife to swirl the two mixtures together.
6. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour.
7. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, before serving.
8. Serve chilled and enjoy!
