- In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add in the sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Beat until smooth. Divide the mixture into two bowls. In one bowl add in the canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie mix. Beat until smooth. Pour onto the crust and smooth. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top and run a knife between the two mixtures to marble.

To slice, remove the cheesecake from the pan and peel away the foil. Cut into small squares.
