Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Stir in the granulated sugar until fully combined, then whisk in 2 of the eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Sift the flour and salt into the chocolate mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a handheld or stand mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, 2 remaining eggs, pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Beat until fully combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Pour in the heavy cream and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
Carefully pour the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer, spreading it evenly.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any leaks. Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and barely jiggles in the center.
Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
Run a sharp knife around the edges of the springform pan before releasing the sides.
Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or caramel sauce.
