Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
Cheesecake & Pumpkin Swirl
  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp ground allspice

Method
 

Crust
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8x8 or 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until moistened. Press firmly into pan.
  3. Bake crust for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool slightly.
Filling & Swirl
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar on medium-low speed until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then beat in vanilla extract.
  2. Remove 1 cup of cheesecake batter to a small bowl. Stir in pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice until uniform.
  3. Pour vanilla batter over crust. Drop spoonfuls of pumpkin batter on top. Use a butter knife or skewer to swirl gently.
  4. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until edges are set and center gently jiggles. Cool completely to room temperature, chill in fridge for 4 hours, slice into 16 bars, and enjoy.
