Double-Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake

An alternative to pumpkin pie, a double-layer pumpkin cheesecake actually tastes better when it gets a chance to chill in the fridge for two or three days.

Ingredients

  • pumpkin purée (1 cup)
  • cream cheese (2 cups)
  • sugar (3 tablespoon)
  • eggs (3 medium)
  • pumpkin pie filling (1 can)
  • vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • whipped cream (1 cup)
  • spices (0.5 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the pumpkin pie filling and spices until well combined.
  5. Pour half of the cheesecake mixture into a greased 9-inch springform pan.
  6. Add pumpkin purée on top and swirl gently with a knife.
  7. Pour the remaining cheesecake mixture over the pumpkin layer and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for about an hour.
  10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least two days to enhance the flavor.
  11. Serve with whipped cream on top.
