  • Lower the oven temperature to 250°F (121°C).
  • Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla.
  • Add eggs one at a time and mix gently. Set aside 2/3 cup of the filling for swirling.
  • Mix the remaining filling with pumpkin puree and cinnamon. Pour into the crusts and swirl in the reserved filling.
