This creamy pumpkin pie cheesecake is layered with spiced pumpkin and rich vanilla cheesecake in a graham cracker crust—easy and perfect for fall!

Ingredients

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, room temperature

½ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

½ cup pumpkin puree

2 teaspoons pumpkin spice

1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)

Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).

Make Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.

Layer Cheesecake: Remove 1⅓ cups of batter and spread it into the graham cracker crust.

Add Pumpkin Layer: Mix pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice into the remaining batter. Gently spread over the plain cheesecake layer.

Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is nearly set (it should still jiggle slightly).

Cool & Chill: Cool at room temp for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Serve: Slice and top with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Make Ahead: Can be made 1–2 days in advance for best flavor and texture.

Storage: Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Freezer Friendly: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
