PUMPKIN-CRANBERRY CHEESECAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 10h55m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 7-ounce package amaretti cookies
1 tablespoon sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
For the filling:
1 pound whole-milk ricotta cheese (preferably fresh)1 1/2 cups sugar
1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
3/4 cup mascarpone cheese
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the topping:
1 3/4 cups fresh cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Wrap the outside (bottom and side) of a 9-inch springform pan with foil. Make the crust: Pulse the cookies and sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter; pulse to combine. Press into the bottom and about 1/4 inch up the side of the pan. Brush the side of the pan lightly with melted butter. Bake until golden and set, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack; cool completely.
  • Make the filling: Drain the ricotta in a fine-mesh sieve, 20 minutes. Combine with the sugar in the food processor; pulse until smooth. Add the pumpkin, eggs, mascarpone, vanilla, pie spice and salt; pulse until combined. (Do not overmix.) Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake until set around the edge but the center still jiggles slightly, 1 1/2 hours to 1 hour 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until cold and set, at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Make the topping: Chop 1 cup cranberries and put in a small saucepan with the sugar, lemon juice, salt and 1/3 cup water. Cook over medium heat until thick, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup whole cranberries; cook 2 more minutes. Let cool.
  • Let the cheesecake sit at room temperature 20 minutes, then run a thin knife around the edge and remove the springform ring. Add a splash of water to the cranberry topping to loosen, if needed, then spread over the cheesecake.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE BARS



Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars image

A simple cheesecake recipe that requires no water bath or springform pan and tastes like a creamy pumpkin pie. Baked in a 9-by-13-inch pan, these are sliced into bars that are easy to serve and eat. If you want to make them a bit fancier, you can reserve some of the plain cheesecake batter to swirl into the pumpkin batter just before baking.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield About 15 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 1/2 ounces/300 grams gingersnap cookies (preferably the thin Swedish variety)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
1 1/2 pounds/680 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/110 grams light brown sugar
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 (15-ounce/425-gram) can pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
  • Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse the cookies until they form fine crumbs (you will have about 2 1/2 cups of crumbs). Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl, and stir in the sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until evenly incorporated. Press the crust into an even layer in the base of the prepared pan.
  • Bake until the crust has browned slightly and appears set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
  • Make the filling: Wipe out the bowl of the food processor, and place the cream cheese, sugar and brown sugar inside. Pulse until the mixture is fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time and pulse until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the food processor bowl as needed.
  • Add the vanilla and pumpkin pie spice, and pulse until combined. If desired, reserve 1 cup of the cheesecake batter in a small bowl to make a swirl effect later.
  • Add the pumpkin to the remaining cheesecake batter, and pulse until fully incorporated. Pour the pumpkin cheesecake into the cooled crust. If using, slowly pour the reserved white cheesecake batter over the pumpkin cheesecake batter in a slow, thin stream, and use a toothpick or wooden skewer to swirl the two batters together. (If you pour too quickly, the white batter will sink inside the pumpkin.)
  • Bake the cheesecake until the edges appear set and the center still appears slightly jiggly, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool at room temperature for 45 minutes, then refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours, up to overnight). Use a sharp knife to release the edges and use the parchment paper to carefully lift the cheesecake from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Slice into 15 even pieces, wiping the knife between cuts for the cleanest edges.
