Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter until resembling wet sand. Press into the bottom of the pan to form a crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes and cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla, mixing until combined. Add eggs one at a time.
  4. Set aside 1/2 cup of the filling in a separate bowl. Stir in pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and flour until smooth.
  5. Pour plain cheesecake filling over the crust. Dollop pumpkin mixture on top and swirl gently with a knife.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Cool in the oven for 30 minutes, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Notes

For neat slicing, use a sharp knife and clean it between cuts. Chilling overnight enhances flavor. Always use pure pumpkin puree.
