Directions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and grab your big mixing bowl and an electric mixer.

You can use a good hand mixer or your Kitchenaid stand mixer, both will work just fine.

Beat Cream Cheese

Beat the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and 3/4 cups of sugar together with your mixer.

Add Eggs

Next, you’ll add the eggs one at a time. After adding an egg, mix until the egg is blended in, then add the next.

Repeating for each of the four eggs.

Set Aside Some Batter

Take 1.5 cups of the batter from your large bowl and place it in another bowl, and set aside.

Add Pumpkin

In your large bowl, add the can of pumpkin, remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and the spices and stir together with a nice stiff spoon.

Put Batter in Crusts

Pour the pumpkin cheesecake mixture from the large bowl into the crusts, dividing it evenly between the two.

TIP: Place pie crusts on a cookie sheet to make it easier to get them in and out of the oven!

Add Remaining Batter

Scoop spoonfuls of the plain batter that we had set aside on top of the pumpkin cheesecake batter in the pie crusts.

Cut through the plain batter with the backside of a butter knife to create swirls and a marbling effect.

Bake Pumpkin Cheesecakes

Pop the pumpkin cheesecakes into the oven and bake for about 50 minutes — our oven takes about 47 minutes!

TIP: Opening the oven to peek will release the steam and may cause cracking!

Remove, Cool, Refrigerate

When the center of the cheesecake is firm and set – not liquid-y, remove from the oven, and cool completely.

Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Cut the pumpkin cheesecake into slices and top with whipped topping

Do You Refrigerate Pumpkin Cheesecake?

Absolutely! You can keep this cheesecake in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to a few days, maybe even a week!

Refrigerating the cheesecake is a must since it does contain dairy products.

We try to make this recipe when we have family gatherings or parties. It’s that good – everyone loves it. It’s not one of those recipes that people say “oh that’s great, did you make this yourself” — all while feeding the dog under the table… It really is good!

Like any cheesecake, it does have a tendency to crack on the top (especially if it’s not cooked in a water bath). But just cut it up and put a dab of cool whip or whipped cream on top. Yummy!
