Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Transfer to a 9-inch square baking pan, press firmly into an even layer, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
  2. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Slowly add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  4. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust for the cheesecake layer. Blend the remaining mixture with pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and any additional spices, then layer it over the cheesecake layer.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are set and center has a slight jiggle. Allow to cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before refrigerating.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Cut into squares with a warm knife and serve with toppings if desired.
