Instructions

Cheesecake

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with baking spray. Line the bottom with a parchment paper circle. Spray again.
Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes.
16 oz Cream cheese, 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
Add sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla and mix on medium until combined. Add the eggs and mix on low speed until just combined. Take off the mixer and scrape the bowl and mix with a baking rubber spatula. Set aside.
1/2 cup Sour cream, 1/4 cup Heavy cream, 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract, 2 Large eggs

Pumpkin Cake

In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside. On a dinner plate, spread the pumpkin puree. Use 8 sheets of paper towels, use 2 at a time and press into the puree. Do this 4 times to soak up some of the moisture.
2 cups All-purpose flour, 1 tsp Baking powder, 1/2 tsp Baking soda, 2 tsp Ground cinnamon, 1 tsp Pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 tsp Ground ginger, 1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg, 1/2 tsp Salt, 15 oz Pumpkin puree can
Using a mixer, mix the oil, brown sugar, vanilla, sour cream, and pumpkin puree. Add in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Scrape the bowl.
1/2 cup Oil, 3/4 cup Brown sugar, 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract, 1/2 cup Sour cream, 1 Large egg
Spread 1/3rd of the pumpkin batter on the bottom layer of the pan (this will act as the crust). Use a large cookie scoop to scoop half of the cheesecake batter on top of the pumpkin. Use half of the remaining pumpkin batter and scoop on top of the cheesecake batter. Use a butter knife to swirl it together. Repeat with the remaining cheesecake batter and pumpkin batter and swirl it on top.
Bake for 55-65 minutes. The edges will be set and the middle will have a slight jiggle. No water bath needed. The cake will crack due to the cake rising and pushing through the cheesecake.
Turn off the oven, prop open the door, and let cool for 20 minutes. Take out of the oven and place pan on a wire rack. Don't take off the pan until after the chill time. Cool the cake completely before covering with foil. Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Whipped Cream Cheese

In a metal bowl with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla on high speed until soft peaks forms.
1 cup Heavy cream, 1/4 cup Powdered sugar, 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
In a separate bowl using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese for 1 minutes. Then, add the cream cheese to whipped cream. Then, beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. *Make sure to beat the cream cheese separately because if added whole it will be clumpy in the whipped cream and cause the whipped cream to split.
4 oz Cream cheese
Take the cake out of the fridge and remove the pan and parchment paper. Spread 1 cup of whipped cream cheese over the top. Then, use a French star tip ( I used Wilton 6B) to pipe dollops on top. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

Flour- Make sure flour is spooned and leveled or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour can dry out the cake.

High altitude baking- Add an extra 2 TBSP of flour.

Pull out dairy ingredients 2 hours before baking.
