Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, then mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand. • Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake at 170°C (340°F) for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly. 🤎 Making the Cheesecake Filling • Add the cream cheese to a large bowl and mix until smooth and softened. • Add the sugar and mix until smooth and creamy. • Add the Greek yogurt or sour cream and mix until combined. • Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the egg yolk, mixing gently after each addition. • Add the vanilla, cornstarch, and salt, then mix just until smooth. Be careful not to overmix, as we don't want to incorporate too much air. 🎃 Making the Pumpkin Swirl • Take ⅓ of the cheesecake batter and set it aside for the pumpkin swirl. • Add the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and flour to that portion. Mix gently until smooth and evenly combined. • Add a little orange food coloring if desired, and mix until evenly combined. 🍂 Assembling • Pour about two-thirds of the plain cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and spread gently. • Add spoonfuls of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over the top, then add the remaining plain cheesecake batter. • Add a few more small spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture on top. Using a toothpick or thin knife, gently swirl the two batters together. 🔥 Baking • Bake at 155°C (310°F) for 45–55 minutes, (mine took 40 min) or until the edges are set and the center still has a gentle jiggle. • Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and let the cheesecake sit inside for 20–30 minutes. • Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature. • Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. For the cleanest slices and creamiest texture, I highly recommend chilling it overnight. • Once completely chilled, lift the cheesecake out using the parchment paper, slice into bars, and enjoy! ✨ And that's it! Creamy pumpkin cheesecake swirl bars with a buttery spiced crust and cozy fall flavor.
