Equipment

Hand mixer or stand mixer, spatula, spoon, knife, oven

Ingredients

1 Pre-made graham cracker crust (mini crusts optional)
2 8 ounce Blocks of cream cheese, softened
3/4 Cup White sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
3 Eggs
1 Cup Canned puree pumpkin
1 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Ground nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the sugar and the vanilla just until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, blending well after each egg. Set aside 3/4 cup of the mixture. Blend the remaining sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the mixture. Pour the pumpkin batter into the crust and drop the plain batter (that was set aside) by spoonfuls onto the top. Swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake 45-50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the filling is set. Allow cheesecake to cool. Chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours or more before serving.

Notes

**This recipe makes more than enough batter so I suggest grabbing some mini pie crusts and to make a few extra cakes. Adjust the bake time accordingly.

Process

This recipe is super easy but the main part to keep in mind is the mixing of the batter. Particularly make sure to mix in one egg at a time Don’t forget to set the white batter (with out the pumpkin mixture) aside for swirling.

Variations

This recipe makes extra batter so if you buy a few mini pie crusts you can have a few individual cakes for the kiddos or to keep at home if you’re bringing the large cake to a social gathering.
You can serve this cake with a side of fresh fruit and even drizzle a fruit sauce on top. I prefer strawberries, or mixed berries on the side.
The easy pumpkin swirl cheesecake also pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
Makes a great hostess gift, neighbor gift or a dessert to bring to a holiday party.
