- Beat the cream cheese, ¾ cup of the brown sugar, molasses, vanilla and bourbon on medium speed until well blended.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each egg is added until just blended.
- Reserve 1 ½ cups of the plain batter and set aside.
- Stir the rest of the sugar, spices and pumpkin puree into the ½ cup batter.
- Spoon ½ of the pumpkin mixture onto the crust and then top with half of the plain batter. Repeat layers.
- Cut through the batters with a butter knife to make swirls.
- Bake at 325 for 55 minutes or until the center is almost set- jiggles slightly.
- Let cool. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is better) before serving. Top with freshly whipped cream, eat it and cry.
- Optional: garnish with candied pecans and drizzle with a sweet bourbon sauce.
