Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 13” baking pan with parchment paper or foil.
For the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter until crumbly. Press into the prepared pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all pumpkin layer ingredients. Pour on top of graham cracker layer.
For the Cheesecake Swirl
In a medium bowl, beat all cheesecake layer ingredients with an electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed.
Spoon tablespoonfuls of cheesecake filling on top of pumpkin layer.
With a knife, carefully swirl cheesecake filling into pumpkin mixture to create a marbled look. Be careful to not disturb the bottom graham cracker layer while swirling the top two layers.
Bake for 37 to 42 minutes or until the center is set. Cool for 30 minutes and then refrigerate for 2 hours, until chilled. Slice into squares and serve.
