Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake

We had a nice little neighborhood get together this weekend, and this is what I made. It was a hit! It was gone by the end of the night. I had a small bite, and it was amazing. It's also super easy to make and the perfect fall dessert!


Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake

2 8 oz packages of cream cheese (I used one reduced fat, one regular)
1/2 c sugar
1/2 t vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 9 in prepared graham cracker crust
1/2 c pumpkin purée
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1/2 c frozen whipped topping, thawed

Preheat oven to 325. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Blend in eggs one at a time. Remove one cup of batter and spread evenly in the pie crust. Set aside. Add pumpkin, cinnamon and cloves to the remaining batter. Mix well. Spread over batter in the crust. Bake for 35-40 minute until center is almost set. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Cover with whipped topping and serve.
