Recipe
Crust: Mix ginger snap crumbs, pecans and butter; press onto bottom
and 2" up side of a 9" springform pan.
Filling: Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla with electric
mixer until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed
after each addition just until blended. Reserve 1-1/2 cups of the
plain batter. Stir remaining 1/4 cup sugar, pumpkin and spices into
remaining batter. Spoon 1/2 of the pumpkin batter over crust; top
with spoonfuls of 1/2 of the reserved plain batter. Repeat layers.
Cut through batters with knife several times for marble effect.
Bake at 325 for 55 minutes or until center is almost set if using a
silver springform pan. (Or, bake at 300 for 55 minutes if using a
dark nonstick springform pan). Loosen cake from side of pan; cool
before removing side of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
