Cozy Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Caramel Cheesecake Batter

01 - 500g of softened cream cheese (two blocks of 250g each)
02 - 1/2 cup of packed dark brown sugar (110g)
03 - 2 eggs (large)
04 - 1/4 cup of rich sour cream (60ml)
05 - 3 tablespoons of rich, salted caramel sauce (45ml)
06 - 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract (5ml)

→ Pumpkin Cake Batter

07 - 1 cup of pumpkin puree (227ml)
08 - 3/4 cup white sugar (150g)
09 - 1 egg (large)
10 - 1/3 cup of cooking oil, like sunflower (80ml)
11 - 1/2 teaspoon of real vanilla extract
12 - 1 1/3 cups of regular all-purpose flour (190g)
13 - 1 teaspoon of baking powder
14 - 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
15 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
16 - 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
17 - 1 1/2 teaspoons of a pumpkin pie spice blend
18 - 1/3 cup of whole-fat milk (80ml)

→ Topping

19 - 3/4 cup of heavy cream for whipping (180ml)
20 - 1 teaspoon of white sugar
21 - 1 teaspoon of powdered milk (it helps keep it stable)
22 - Drizzle some salted caramel sauce

# Instructions:

01 - Fire up the oven to 350°F. Take an 8-inch springform pan, line it with parchment paper, and coat it with non-stick spray.
02 - Blend the cream cheese and brown sugar together until silky. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the sour cream, caramel, and vanilla until smooth.
03 - Combine the wet ingredients in a bowl. Sift in the dry ones and gently fold to mix. Finally, stir in the milk until everything's just together—don’t overmix.
04 - Spoon in layers of the batters, going back and forth between pumpkin and cheesecake. Use a knife to gently swirl and create a marbled look.
05 - Pop it in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes, then drop the temperature to 325°F and bake another 35 minutes. Let it cool on the counter, then chill it in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
06 - Whip together cream, sugar, and milk powder until you see soft peaks. Spread it on top and finish with more caramel sauce drizzled over.

# Notes:

01 - You can prepare and store this in the fridge ahead of time.
02 - For clean cuts, heat up your knife by dipping it in hot water.
