Description

A rich and creamy cheesecake with pumpkin and chocolate flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir in melted butter until crumbs are moistened. Press mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  5. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  6. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
  7. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  8. Drizzle half of the chocolate mixture over the pumpkin mixture in the pan. Swirl gently with a knife.
  9. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the chocolate layer.
  10. Drizzle the remaining chocolate mixture over the top and swirl again.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
  12. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  13. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  14. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

  • For a smoother swirl, warm the chocolate mixture slightly before drizzling.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a lump-free batter.
