1. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and crushed graham crackers. Stir until the mixture develops a wet sand texture.

4. Spread half of the cheesecake batter into the chilled baking pan, smoothing the top, and freeze.
5. Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
6. Add the pumpkin puree to the remaining cheesecake batter and stir until incorporated.
7. Spoon the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over frozen cheesecake mixture and spread evenly.
8. Bake for 30 minutes.
