Pumpkin Cheesecake Layers
Ingredients
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground cloves, or more to taste
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or more to taste
Instructions
1
Collect all the necessary components for preparation.
2
Firstly, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
3
To create the cheesecake layer, combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl using an electric mixer until it reaches a smooth consistency. Gradually incorporate eggs, one at a time, ensuring each addition is well-blended before proceeding.
4
Pour 1 cup of the batter into the pre-made graham cracker crust.
5
Next, prepare the pumpkin layer by mixing in pumpkin puree, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg into the remaining batter; gently stir until everything is well combined.
6
Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the plain cheesecake batter in the crust.
7
Bake the dessert in the preheated oven until the edges are puffed and the surface is firm, except for a small spot in the center that jiggles when the pan is gently shaken, taking around 35 to 40 minutes.
8
Once done, carefully remove it from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool down to room temperature over the course of 1 to 2 hours.
9
Finally, refrigerate the dessert for at least 3 hours before serving; ideally, it should be chilled overnight.
