Time 1h12m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups crushed shortbread cookies
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
3 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.)
  • In a medium bowl, mix crushed cookies, 3 tablespoons melted butter and 3 tablespoons flour. Press firmly on bottom and side of ungreased 9 inch pie plate. Bake about 12 minutes or until light brown. Allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine white sugar, brown sugar, flour, and cream cheese. Beat on low speed until smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture to swirl in later. To the mixture in the bowl, add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger. Blend in eggs and pumpkin puree. Scrape bowl, and beat until smooth. Pour into crust.
  • Stir 1 tablespoon milk into the reserved cream cheese mixture. Drop by spoonfuls over the pumpkin mixture. Use a knife to decoratively swirl the two mixtures together.
  • Cover edge of crust with 2 to 3 inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake in preheated 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove foil the last 15 minutes of baking. Cool 30 minutes, then refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

I've made this cheesecake several times and it's always a hit. It's the perfect dessert for a special occasion or just a weekend treat. The pumpkin swirl is a nice touch that makes it stand out from other cheesecakes.

This cheesecake is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would prefer a cheesecake with a less dense filling.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but this cheesecake was surprisingly good. The pumpkin swirl was subtle and not overpowering. The cheesecake itself was creamy and smooth. I would definitely make this again.

This is the best pumpkin cheesecake recipe I've ever tried! The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is creamy and smooth. The pumpkin swirl is the perfect touch of fall flavor. I highly recommend this recipe.

The cheesecake was delicious, but the pumpkin swirl was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I will use less sugar in the pumpkin filling.

Followed the recipe exactly and my cheesecake came out dense and dry. Not sure what went wrong.
