  8. Add in the pumpkin pie spice and set aside.
  9. Spread 3/4 of the pumpkin batter into the springform pan.

  11. Repeat with the remaining pumpkin batter, but do not swirl the batters together.
  12. Place pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes.
  13. Cover the pan with foil halfway through baking to prevent the cake from burning and over-cooking.
  14. Let the cheesecake cool for at least a few hours before placing in the fridge.
