Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl of stand mixer or with hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, ricotta, and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well in between. Add the almond extract, vanilla extract, amaretto, and cinnamon. Mix to combine. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin and ½ cup cheesecake batter, stirring until smooth.

Pour the remaining plain cheesecake batter into the pie crust and dollop pumpkin batter all over the top. Using the tip of a knife, swirl the two batters together.
