Ingredients

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
0.5 cup white sugar
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
0.5 cup pumpkin puree
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch ground cloves
pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually incorporate eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition.

3

Pour 1 cup of the cheesecake batter into the graham cracker crust.

4

Incorporate pumpkin puree, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg into the remaining batter. Mix until the ingredients are well blended.

5

Carefully spread the pumpkin layer mixture over the plain cheesecake layer in the crust.

6

Bake until the edges are puffed and the surface is firm except for a small spot in the center that jiggles when you gently shake the pan, 35 to 40 minutes.

7

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 1 to 2 hours.

8

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving, preferably overnight.
