2. For the filling, beat cream cheese and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Remove 1 cup batter to a medium bowl; beat in pumpkin, flour, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Stir vanilla into remaining plain batter. Pour 1/2 of the vanilla batter into the crust. Gently pour pumpkin batter over top. Top with remaining vanilla batter.
3. Bake for 50 minutes or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven; let cheesecake stand in the oven for 2 hours or until cooled. Remove from the oven.
4. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Run a small knife around the sides of the pan to loosen the crust; remove sides of pan. Store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator.
