1 pound cream cheese
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon -- ground
1/4 teaspoon allspice -- ground
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
12 ounces semisweet chocolate -- broken into 1/2" pcsPreheat oven to 325F. Toast the pecan pieces on a baking sheet in pre-heated oven for 6 to 8
minutes. Remove form the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
Lower oven temperature to 300 F. In a food processor fitted with metal
blade, chop the cookies and the pecans until they are crumbs (yield about
2 cups of crumbs), about 20 to 30 seconds. Set aside. Coat the bottom of a 9"x3" springform pan with 1 tsp. melted butter. Use
hands to press 1 cup of crumbs to a uniform level and thickness on the
butter bottom of pan. Set aside. To prepare the chocolate cheesecake, heat 1 inch of water in the bottom
half of a double boiler over medium-high heat. Place the semisweet
chocolate and coffee in the top half of the double boiler. Tightly cover
the top with film wrap and allow to heat for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from
heat and stir until smooth. Place 3/4 pound softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp. salt
in a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle. Beat on low for 1
minute and on medium for 2 minutes. Scrape down bowl. Add 3 eggs, one
at a time, beating on high for 20 seconds and scraping down the bowl
after each addition. Then beat mixture for 1 minute more on high. Add 1
tsp. vanilla and beat on medium for 15 seconds. Add the melted chocolate
mixture and beat on medium for 30 seconds. Remove bowl from the mixer.
Use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the batter until it is smooth and
thoroughly combined. Pour cheesecake mixture into the prepared
springform pan, spreading evenly. Keep at room temperature while preparing
pumpkin cheesecake batter. To prepare pumpkin cheesecake, coat the inside of a 9"x1 1/2" cake pan
with 1 tsp. butter. Line the pan with an 8-inch square of parchment
paper. Coat the parchment paper with the remaining teaspoon of butter.
Set aside until needed. Place 1 pound of softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, the flour, and 1/2
tsp. salt in the bowl of electric mixer fitted with a paddle. Beat on
low for 1 minute and on medium for 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl,
then beat on medium for 2 more minutes and on high for 3 minutes. Scrape
down bowl. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, beating on high for 20 seconds and
scraping down bowl after each addition. Add 1 tsp. vanilla and beat on
medium for 15 seconds, then beat on high for 2 more minutes. Add the
pumpkin puree, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, then beat on medium for 30
seconds. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Use a rubber spatula to finish
mixing the batter until it is smooth and thoroughly combined. Pour the
pumpkin cheesecake mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading evenly. Place a 9"x1 1/2" cake pan partially filled with 4 cups of hot water on
the bottom rack of the 300 F oven (the bottom rack should be at least 3
inches below the center rack). Place both cheesecakes on the center rack
of the oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the internal
temperature of the cheesecake fillings reaches 170 degrees F. Turn off
the oven and allow the cheesecakes to remain in the oven for an
additional 20 minutes. Remove form the oven and cool at room
temperature for 20 minutes. Refrigerate the chocolate cheesecake for 1
hour, but keep pumpkin cheesecake at room temperature (do not remove
either cake from pan. To prepare the ganache, heat the heavy cream, butter, and sugar in a 2
1/2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. When hot, stir to dissolve
sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Place the chocolate in a stainless
steel bowl. Pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to
stand for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Allow to cool to room
temperature. Pour 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate ganache over the top of the chilled
chocolate cheesecake. Spread evenly over the top of the cake. Invert the
pumpkin cheesecake onto the layer of ganache. Gently press down on the
cake to set in place. Wrap the entire springform pan with film wrap and
refrigerate for 3 hours. The cheesecake can now be released from the springform. Remove film wrap
and wrap a damp, hot towel around the sides of the pan (the towel should
be large enough to completely wrap around and cove the sides of the
pan) and hold around the pan form 1 minute. Carefully release and remove
the springform pan. Using a cake spatula, smooth the sides of the cake
with 2 to 3 Tbsps. of the ganache. Spread the remaining ganache evenly
across the top of the cake. press remaining cookie/pecan crumbs into the
sides of the cake, coating evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
before cutting and serving. Heat the blade of the serrated slicer under hot water before cutting and
run it under hot water after making each slice. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : I made this Thanksgiving of 1997. For the decorations I used the
pecan/cookie pieces also on top of the cake approximately 2 inches around
the edge of the cake. Then I evenly spaced whole pecan pieces on top of
the edging. In the center of the top of the cake I used Chocolate fall
leaves (bought from grocery store) placed haphazardly around. This cheesecake is very time intensive but sooo..worth it. I can't say
enough about it! Owners Cooking for Fun (CFF)
