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.

MARBLED CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• 1. FOR CRUST: PREHEAT oven to 350º F. Grease 9-inch springform pan. COMBINE graham cracker crumbs, butter and granulated sugar in medium bowl. Press onto bottom of prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup morsels.
• 2. FOR CHEESECAKE: MICROWAVE remaining morsels in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 30 seconds; STIR. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted; cool to room temperature. BEAT cream cheese, granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth; beat in pumpkin. Beat in eggs, evaporated milk, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Remove 3/4 cup pumpkin mixture; stir into melted chocolate. Pour remaining pumpkin mixture into crust. Spoon chocolate-pumpkin mixture over top; swirl. BAKE for 60 to 65 minutes or until edge is set but center still moves slightly. Cool in pan on wire rack. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Remove side of springform pan.

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!
