Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake Dessert

Ingredients:

  • For the crust:
    • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
    • 1/3 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • For the cheesecake layer:
    • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the pumpkin layer:
    • 1 cup pumpkin puree
    • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 2 large eggs

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and then set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled crust.
  5. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, sugar, and eggs until well combined. Carefully pour this pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Be careful not to overbake, as you want a slightly jiggly center.
  7. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  8. Serve slices plain or with a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra treat. Enjoy your deliciously layered pumpkin cheesecake!
