Number Of Ingredients 18

Crust:
12 Oreos
12/ cup of graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
2 packages bar cream cheese (8 ounces each)
1 cup sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
dash of nutmeg
OR instead of the spices above 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper leaving an overhang on all sides. Set aside. In a food processor or blender blend cookies and graham cracker crumbs with sugar until finely ground (you should have about 1 cup crumbs); add butter, and pulse until moistened. Transfer crumb mixture to prepared pan, and press gently into bottom. Bake until slightly firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Place cream cheese in mixer; blend until smooth, about 5 minutes. Add sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, flour, pumpkin-pie spice, and salt; mix until combined about 1 minute. Set aside Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted. Add 1 cup of the pumpkin mixture; stir to combine. Set aside. Pour remaining pumpkin mixture into prepared pan. Drop dollops of chocolate mixture onto pumpkin mixture; swirl. Bake until cheesecake is set but jiggles slightly when gently shaken, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan. Then cover and chill at least 2 hours. Using overhang, transfer to work surface. Cut and serve.
