- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour half of the batter over the crust.
- Add Pumpkin Swirl: In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Drop spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture over the cheesecake batter. Swirl with a knife.
- Bake: Place the pan in a larger baking dish and fill with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes until the center is almost set.
- Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven, leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for an hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
- For a festive touch, garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
