MARBLED PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Make crumb crust with gingersnaps instead of graham crackers as directed in separate recipe. Preheat oven to 550°F.
• Beat together cream cheese, sugar, and flour with an electric mixer until smooth and add whole eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla, beating on low speed until each ingredient is incorporated and scraping down bowl between additions. Transfer 2 1/2 cups filling to another bowl and beat yolks, spices, and pumpkin into remaining filling until smooth.
• Put springform pan with crust in a shallow baking pan. Pour half of pumpkin filling into crust, then half of plain. Repeat procedure with remaining fillings (springform pan will be completely full), drizzling the plain so that some of pumpkin filling is still visible. Gently swirl a small spoon once through batters in a figure-eight pattern without touching crust. Bake in baking pan (to catch drips) in middle of oven 12 minutes, or until puffed. Reduce temperature to 200°F and bake 30 minutes (do not open oven). Dome a piece of lightly oiled foil over cake and continue baking until mostly firm (center will still be slightly wobbly when pan is gently shaken), about 1 hour more.
• Run a knife around top edge of cake to loosen and cool completely in springform pan on a rack. Chill, loosely covered, at least 6 hours. Remove side of pan and transfer cake to a plate. Bring to room temperature before serving.

CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN MOUSSE

Steps:

• This mousse is so light, so airy, so decadent, and so HEALTHY! The secret ingredient? Pumpkin! This guilt-free goodie helps to energize, combat stress and lower heart disease. Plus it's super high in fiber, helping to curb cravings and balance blood sugar levels.
• To prepare the chocolate mousse: Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well with a fork. Refrigerate for an hour before serving. That's it!
• Serving.
• I normally serve this in a short martini glass and garnish with berries and/or shaved chocolate.

MARBLED PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE + WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• FILLING - Prepare the filling first to chill while crust bakes. In a large bowl, beat together in mixer: cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract. Then mix the rest together with spoon by hand -- less air after adding eggs means less cracking in your cheesecake later! Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each one.
• Set aside 1/2 of the mixture in a medium bowl. The remaining 1/2 add: pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove - mix together well. Put the plain filling and the pumpkin filling in the fridge while making your crust; this will give it a chance to thicken and will marble nicely later.
• CRUST - In a medium bowl mix together: graham crust, cinnamon, ginger, pumpkin pie spice and butter. Press into the bottom of a spring-form pan. Bake crust in oven at 350 F for 10 minute.
• MARBLE THE CHEESECAKE - Start with the pumpkin filling and add it on top of the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the plain filling throughout. Take a knife and swirl the pumpkin filling to make marble effect. Have fun with it!
• BAKING - (Optional) Put a pan 1/2 filled with water, in the oven on the bottom rack. This will steam and also help the cheesecake not to crack as it bakes. Bake cheesecake in oven at 350 F for 1 hr 15 minute Once done, remove from oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan (this will keep your cheesecake from cracking as it cools). Chill in the fridge.
• FROSTING - Use a chilled bowl & beaters, beat together cream in a mixer, until frothy. Once a little frothy, add gradually: icing sugar, white chocolate pudding powder, cream of tarter. Whip until thick. Spread on chilled cheesecake. Add white chocolate bar squares (optional). Enjoy!

NO-BAKE PUMPKIN MOUSSE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom with a round of parchment paper.
• Combine the cookie crumbs, pecans, brown sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until fine. (Alternatively, you can crush the cookies very finely in a resealable gallon-size bag and chop the nuts as finely as possible; combine them in a bowl with the sugar and salt.) Add the melted butter and vanilla and pulse until evenly moistened. Press the mixture about 2 inches up the sides of the springform pan, then press to cover the bottom evenly. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
• For the filling: Pour 3 tablespoons cold water into a small microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Set aside to bloom.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl and beat 1 minute. Beat in the pumpkin puree and vanilla, blending about 30 seconds.
• Place the bloomed gelatin in the microwave and microwave until the gelatin melts and the mixture is clear, 10 to 12 seconds. Stir a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the hot gelatin, then add the gelatin mixture to the mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until combined, about 15 seconds.
• Mix in the heavy cream on low speed until combined. Scrape the bowl, then whip at high speed for about 1 minute. Spread over the prepared crust. Smooth the top of the cream, as desired. Refrigerate, uncovered, 8 hours to overnight (or top with a plate, domed-side up, so it doesn't touch the surface of the cheesecake).
• For finishing: Unlatch and remove the sides of the springform pan. Before serving, sprinkle the edges of the cheesecake with the pecans and chocolate chips.

PUMPKIN-CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in center. Bring a small pot of water (about 8 cups) to a boil. Assemble a 9-by-3-inch springform pan with raised side of bottom part facing up.
• For the Crust: In a food processor, grind wafers until fine (you should have 1 1/3 cups). Add butter, sugar, and salt; pulse until evenly moistened. Press evenly into bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of pan. Refrigerate 10 minutes. Bake until fragrant and firm, about 12 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack; reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
• For the Filling: Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and sugar on low speed until smooth; add flour and beat to combine. Add pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla and salt; beat to combine. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition.
• Wrap springform pan in foil (to keep water from seeping in during baking); place in a roasting pan. Pour filling into crust. Place roasting pan in oven, add boiling water to come halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake until pie is puffed around edges and just a tiny bit wobbly in center, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Transfer springform pan to wire rack; remove foil and let cool 20 minutes. Run a paring knife around edges and let cool completely on rack, about 4 hours. Transfer pan to refrigerator; cover loosely and chill at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.
• For the Caramel: Release sides of pan and remove cake. Cook sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Stop stirring and cook, swirling pan occasionally and brushing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush, until amber, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cream and salt (it will bubble up). Return to heat and simmer 1 minute, stirring to dissolve any hardened caramel. Stir in chocolate. Let cool 20 minutes, then pour over cake.
• Return cake to refrigerator until set, at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. For the cleanest slices when serving, use a knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry after each.
