Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, egg yolk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until smooth.
Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture onto the cheesecake layer and swirl gently with a knife.
Bake for about 45 minutes until the center is set but jiggles slightly. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
