HOLIDAY SHEET PAN CHEESECAKE BARS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Make the crust: In a large bowl, mix together the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
• Pour onto a baking sheet and press into an even layer. Use a spatula to draw lines in the crust crosswise, dividing it into 4 even sections. Arrange the graham cracker quarters along the lines, then press down the crust around the crackers to secure.
• Bake for 8 minutes until lightly browned. Let cool to room temperature.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 225°F (105°C).
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to whip the cream cheese and sugar until slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time.
• Mix in the sour cream and vanilla. Divide the filling evenly between 4 medium bowls.
• In the first bowl, mix in the sweet potato puree, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, and the nutmeg.
• In another bowl, whisk in the chocolate hazelnut spread.
• In another bowl, whisk in ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon.
• In the last bowl, mix in the pumpkin puree and the pumpkin pie spice.
• Pour each flavored filling into a section of the crust and smooth with a spatula.
• Scoop the apple pie filling over the cinnamon flavor and swirl into the filling with a skewer.
• Drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the chocolate flavor and swirl into the filling with a skewer.
• Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the pumpkin filling.
• Bake for 1 hour, until cheesecake is set. Let cool in the oven with the door open.
• Refrigerate overnight before slicing into wedges and serving.
• Enjoy!

HOLIDAY PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, pecans, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pat into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and egg yolks all at once; beat just until combined. Carefully fold in pumpkin and heavy cream, marbling but not mixing completely. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until center appears nearly set when shaken, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before chilling in a refrigerator 8 hours to overnight. Drizzle caramel sauce over each serving.

HOLIDAY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crostini, cut the baguettes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Using a pastry brush, brush the baguette slices with olive oil. Place on 2 foil-lined baking sheets and bake until crisp and golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Reserve 25 of the crostini slices for the cheesecake. Cool the remaining crostini, then store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
• To make the cheesecake crust, put the 25 crostini slices in a food processor and run the machine until crostini are like bread crumbs, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and pulse a few times to combine. Press the bread crumbs into the bottom of the cheesecake pan. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• To make the cheesecake, wrap the outside of the cheesecake pan with 2 layers of heavy-duty foil. Place the ricotta, cream cheese, and goat cheese in a food processor. Pulse to mix. Add the eggs, sugar, and salt and pulse a few times until well mixed. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the red pepper, basil, and thyme.
• Pour the cheese mixture into the cheesecake pan. Place the cheesecake pan in a roasting pan. Pour enough hot water in the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan. Bake until the cheesecake is golden at the edges and the center of the cake moves slightly when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour (the cake will become firm when it is cold.)
• Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate until the cheesecake is cold, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
• To serve, combine the jam and the hot water in a small bowl and stir until the jam is liquefied. Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan by running a knife around the inside of the rim and unlatching the pan's ring. Then, run a long metal spatula under the cheesecake and gently slide onto a serving plate. Drizzle the jam mixture over the top of the cheesecake, encouraging some of the jam to run down the sides. Serve with the reserved crostini alongside.
