Preheat oven to 300 degrees

Spray a regular muffin tin with cooking spray and line with foil liners. Blend cream cheese in a mixer until smooth and fluffy about 4 minutes. Add the sugar, vanilla and salt and mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time and blend - don't overbeat the eggs.

Transfer 2/3 of the batter to a bowl. Add the pumpkin, flour, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg to that bowl and blend well.

In the muffin tins use the 1/3 cup of plain batter and put about 2 big tbl in each liner. Then portion the pumpkin batter to each liner and using a fork or skewer in a swirl pattern as you see in the picture above. Bake until the centers of the cheesecakes barely jiggle about 15-18 minutes. Let cool and refrigerate or freeze if you want or...
