Marbled Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup crushed gingersnap cookies
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened (bring to room temperature)
1/2 cup sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Mix together the crushed cookies, pecans, and butter.  Press into the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan.  Back crust 10 minutes.  Set aside to cool.

In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla just until smooth.  Mix in eggs one at a time, blending well after each.  Set aside 1 cup of the mixture.  Blend 1/4 cup sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg into remaining mixture.

Spread pumpkin flavored batter into the crust, and drop the plain batter by spoonfuls onto the top.  Swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.

Bake 55 minutes, or until filling is set.  Run a knife around the edge of the pan.  Allow to cool before removing pan rim.  Chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving.






Note: use total 3 cups cookies + pecans if you prefer a crust that goes up entire side of cheesecake and not just the bottom
