Method
Preperation
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the crushed graham crackers, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
Add melted butter and mix to combine.
Step 4
Press the crust mixture into a springform pan, creating a layer on the bottom, and then continuing to firmly press crust up the sides.
Step 5
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. When it comes out of the oven, let the crust cool completely, about an hour.
Filling and Assembly
Step 1
In a large bowl with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Whip together until smooth.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks.
Step 3
Fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until just combined.
Step 4
Add half of the cheesecake mixture to a separate small bowl and fold in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice.
Step 5
Add alternating scoops of the vanilla and pumpkin spice batters to the cooled crust, and use an offset spatula to smooth the surface.
Step 6
Cover the cheesecake with saran wrap and chill overnight to set.
Step 7
To make the whipped cream topping, add the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer or to a large bowl with a hand mixer. Whip until stiff peaks form.
Step 8
Release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Before serving, use a piping bag to add swirls of the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake. Slice and enjoy!
