Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

⅓ cup sugar

½ teaspoon cinnamon

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

4 oz (115g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until well mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool.

    Make the cheesecake batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the vanilla extract and beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

      Divide the batter: Once the cream cheese mixture is smooth, divide it into two separate bowls. In the first bowl, gently mix in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. In the second bowl, fold in the melted chocolate until the mixture is evenly colored.

        Marble the cheesecake: Spoon alternating dollops of the pumpkin and chocolate cheesecake mixtures onto the cooled crust, creating a marbled effect. Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the mixtures together gently without overmixing.

          Bake the cheesecake: Carefully place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.

            Cool and chill: After an hour, remove the cheesecake from the oven, let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to ensure it sets properly.

              Serve: Once chilled, run a knife around the edge of the springform pan before removing the sides. Slice into wedges and serve chilled. Optional: top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings for added garnish.
