Pumpkin swirl cheesecake...UPDATE w/ recipe

My pumpkin swirl cheesecake is calling to me: "eat me, I'm yummy"...I can't wait for tomorrow, will be diving face first into deserts! My pumpkin swirl cheesecake is awesome, if I do say so myself How will I be able to resist???



If someone is interested in the recipe, let me know and I will post it.

UPDATE: Sorry it took so long. I resisted, and it was so worth the wait!!! Here is the recipe, but just be advised it takes about an hour to prepare, and additional 55 minutes to cook, and about an hour and a half to cool, so make sure you have the time put aside.

Ingredients:
2 cups finely crushed ginger snaps
6 tbsp of butter melted
3 packages (8 oz each) of cream cheese softened
1 cup sugar, divided
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Mix crushed ginger snaps, crushed pecans, and butter and stir until well mixed. Press mixture onto bottom and 2" up side of 9" spring form pan.

Beat Cream cheese, 3/4 cup of sugar, and vanilla w/ electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing at low speed after each addition just until blended. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of plain batter and place in seperate bowl to use later. Take remaining batter and stir in remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg...this is the "pumpkin batter". Spoon 1/2 of pumpkin batter over crust. Top w/ spoon fulls of plain batter. Repeat layers of pumpkin and plain batter until all batter is used. Cut through batters with knife (lightly) several times to achieve marble effect.

Bake at 325 degrees for 55 minutes or until center is almost set if using a SILVER springform pan. If using a DARK springform pan, bake at 300 degrees for 55 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving. Serves 12 and has about a million calories, I'm sure...but soooooo worth it!!!

Enjoy!!!

Re: Oh God...

well, the only thing preventing me from diving into my pecan pie is that I know if I ate the whole thing, I'd end up in a carbo-coma, and would only wake-up on friday
