Pumpkin Marble Cheesecake Recipe

Combine and press first three ingredients onto bottom and 1 1/2" up the sides of your pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

Combine cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla. Mix at medium speed until well blended.

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Reserve 1 cup of batter.

Add remaining sugar, pumpkin, and spices to batter and mix well. Spoon batters (the reserved 1 cup and the newly created pumpkin batter) alternately over crust and cut through batters with knife to make the marble effect.

Bake for 55 minutes. Turn off oven and leave pan in oven while it cools down. Loosen cake from rim of pan. Chill.

I like to garnish this with little mounds of whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon.
