Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake:

If you’re still on the fence about what fall dessert you’re making this year, you’re search is over! This Pumpkin Swirl cheesecake is AMAZING! Regardless of the fact that I had my windows open yesterday due to the lovely warm weather, it really is Fall.

Cheesecake is always a favorite, but this year I’m spicing it up with the must have flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg!

If you’ve never made a baked cheesecake don’t worry, but you will need a spring-form pan. The directions are simple and easy to follow. Do you love chocolate? Try using Chocolate Graham crackers for the crust instead!

This recipe is great for Thanksgiving but honestly it will work for any fall event, or just a special weekend dessert. It’s a must-make if you’re a fan of cheesecake!

Cheesecake baking secrets:

If you have trouble with cheesecakes, here are a few tips.

Don’t over beat your batter. Beating too much air into your mixture will make your cheesecake fall. The cheesecake is done when the center is almost set, but still jiggles a little when shaken gently.
You can also use a cooking thermometer and go ahead and take it out of the oven when the cheesecake reaches 150 degrees F.
Expect a slight shrinkage as it cools. If there is a lot of shrinkage, you have baked it at too high a heat. Lower your oven temp slightly the next time you’re baking a cheesecake.
Let the cheesecake cool on the counter completely before refrigerating.
