Marshmallow Pumpkin Cheesecake Food

SMALL NO-BAKE MARSHMALLOW PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine marshmallows, canned pumpkin, spices, and salt.
• Heat over medium-low heat, stirring almost constantly, until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture uniform in color, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Scrape mixture into a medium bowl and allow to cool to room temperature, 45 minutes to an hour.
• While your marshmallow filling cools, in a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Stir together until well-mixed and press crumbs into a 6-inch pie tin in an even layer. Place in the freezer until you're ready to use it.
• Once marshmallow mixture has cooled, in a separate medium bowl, combine heavy cream and sugar. Beat using a handheld electric mixer, starting on low and working up to high, until stiff peaks form (when you lift the beaters straight out, they should leave peaks of whipped cream that stand straight up and don't flop over at the tip). Set aside.
• Add softened cream cheese to the cooled marshmallow mixture and beat until the cream cheese is completely incorporated.
• Switch to silicone spatula and gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin/cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream too much as you go.
• Once there are no streaks remaining, spoon the filling into your prepared pie crust. There may be some extra filling that won't fit. You can discard (or eat it).
• Smooth the top of the pie and refrigerate until firm, 3 to 4 hours.
• Decorate with additional whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired, and enjoy!

MARSHMALLOW PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 inch springform pan with 2 3/4 inch sides with non-stick cooking spray.
• Add cookie crumbs, pecans and ginger to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until nuts are finely ground.
• Add melted butter and pulse until crumbs come together.
• Press crumb mixture on bottom and 2 inches up sides of springform pan. Bake crust for approximately 10 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• Keep oven preheated to 350 degrees.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer blend cream cheese and sugar for about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin and mix until well incorporated. Add eggs, 1 at a time, blending on low speed after each addition, scraping down bowl occasionally. Add the flour, spices and salt and beat to blend. Beat in vanilla.
• Pour filling into cooled crust, filling to just above top of crust.
• Bake until edges begin to crack and filling is just set in the centre. Filling should move just slightly in the center when pan is gently shaken. This should take about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool for one hour on wire cooling rack. Cut around edges to loosen cake and cool in the cake pan over night.
• Combine marshmellows and milk in a large saucepan and heat over low heat until marshmellows are melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Cool mixture to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Gently fold sour cream into marshmellow mixture. Pour topping over cheesecake leaving a 1/2 inch border around edges. Chill for at least 1 hour to set topping. If there are any cracks in the cheesecake, this topping will cover them up!
• Remove springform ring when ready to serve
