A little bit of pumpkin pie? A little bit of cheesecake? YES PLEASE! This Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake is the perfect Fall dessert with caramel swirled into a creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling. 

It’s that time of year…everything pumpkin. Well I am not a huge fan of pumpkin flavored things, but I love this recipe. It’s so rich, creamy, and flavorful. Not only is this Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake delicious, it is visually appealing. With the Fall colored hues and swirls of caramel, it would make a great addition to the dessert table at Thanksgiving!

Cheesecake can be intimidating, but honestly this one is pretty easy. So try it out and let me know how it turns out!

How to make this Pumpkin cheesecake recipe?

For the crust, grind up the graham crackers in a food processor (I used my small Ninja that I use for smoothies). Then add the rest of the crust ingredients and either pulse or mix by hand. Press into a greased spring-form pan. Refrigerate while continuing to next step.

For the filling, beat room temperature cream cheese in mixer until nice and smooth. Then add the pumpkin, eggs, and egg yolk. Be careful not to over mix.  Continue adding the rest of the ingredients in order.

Pour mixture into crust and drizzle caramel on top. With a butter knife, swirl the caramel through the mixture. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

How to know when cheesecake is done cooking?

The cheesecake is done when the center is somewhat firm (not giggly). Run a butter knife around the cheesecake to prevent cracking as the cheesecake cools and set. Let cool then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. ENJOY!!
