Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

⅓ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Pumpkin Swirl:

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or freshly made)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

¼ cup sour cream

¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

    Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, ⅓ cup sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

      Make the Pumpkin Swirl: In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, ¼ cup sugar, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix until well blended and set aside.

        Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue mixing until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.

          Layer the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Spoon half of the pumpkin mixture over the cheesecake batter, and use a skewer or a knife to gently swirl the two mixtures together. Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top, followed by the remaining pumpkin mixture, and swirl again to create a lovely marbled effect.

            Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 55–60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

              Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven, crack the oven door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to fully set.

                Serve: Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy the delightful swirls of pumpkin and cheesecake!
