About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Beat on low after adding the eggs; whipping in air causes cracks.

  3. 03

    Remove 1 1/2 cups batter; stir pumpkin and spice into the rest.

    Pour pumpkin batter over crust, dollop plain batter on top and swirl with a knife.

  5. 05

    Bake in a water bath 65–75 minutes until the edges are set and the center wobbles. Cool in the turned-off oven 1 hour, then chill overnight.
