Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment or foil and spray with nonstick spray.
- To prepare the crust, grind cinnamon graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, flour, and salt. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
- Remove 1.5 cups of the cream cheese mixture and fold into the pumpkin mixture to create a marbled effect. Drop spoonfuls alternately into the crust and swirl with a toothpick to create a marble pattern.
- Bake for about 40 minutes or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight before slicing.
- Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream or caramel sauce.
Notes
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
