Pumpkin Cheesecake

2 (8 ounce) Cream Cheese

½ cup white sugar

½ teaspoon of vanilla extract

2 eggs

1(9inch) graham cracker crust

½ cup pumpkin puree

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 pinch ground cloves

1 pinch ground nutmeg

(optional) whipped topping of your choice

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Blend in eggs one at a time. Remove 1 cup of batter and spread into bottom of crust; set aside.

Add pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg to the remaining batter and stir gently until well blended. Carefully spread over the batter in the crust.

Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until center is almost set. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Cover with whipped topping before serving.

*Depending on your oven I usually bake it 40 minutes then add an additional 20 minutes. You can check it with a toothpick
