CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE SOUFFLE



Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake Souffle image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the souffle dish
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
4 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
1/3 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup 60 percent chocolate chips, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the inside of an 8-inch souffle dish. Place in a roasting pan that fits the dish.
  • Add the cream cheese, pumpkin puree and butter to a medium bowl. Using a rubber spatula, mix together until smooth and well combined. Switch to a whisk and add the egg yolks one at a time, making sure they are fully incorporated before adding the next yolk. Add the cake flour, vanilla and cinnamon and mix well until smooth. Slowly add the milk until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  • Beat the egg whites in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. With the mixer running, slowly sprinkle in the sugar until glossy and stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of the egg white into the cream cheese mixture using the whisk until incorporated. Repeat with another third. Now add the cream cheese mixture into the bowl with the remaining egg white and, using a spatula, gently fold in the remaining egg white until no streaks remain.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Drizzle with the melted chocolate and run a skewer through the top to make a design. Fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the souffle dish and place in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 300 degrees F and continue to bake until the souffle is just set but still a little jiggly in the center, about 50 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature in the water bath. Remove from the water and refrigerate to cool completely, at least 2 hours. Use a large spoon to serve the souffle.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 9h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs (35 to 40 cookies)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
4 eggs
4 tablespoons bourbon
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 1/2 teaspoons aromatic bitters
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup caramel topping
2 teaspoons bourbon
Dash aromatic bitters
Toasted pecans, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300°F. Grease 9-inch springform pan with shortening or cooking spray. Wrap outside bottom and side of pan with foil to prevent leaking. In small bowl, mix Crust ingredients. Press mixture in bottom and 1 inch up side of pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool 5 minutes.
  • In large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed just until smooth and creamy; do not overbeat. On low speed, gradually beat in sugar, then flour, then eggs one at a time, just until blended. Remove half of the cream cheese mixture (about 3 cups) into another large bowl; reserve.
  • Into remaining cream cheese mixture, stir 2 tablespoons of the bourbon, the pumpkin, 1 1/2 teaspoons bitters, the ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg with whisk until smooth. Spoon over crust in pan. Into reserved 3 cups filling, stir 2 tablespoons bourbon, the vanilla and melted chocolate; pour over pumpkin layer directly in middle of pan. This will create layers so that each slice includes some of each flavor.
  • To minimize cracking, place shallow pan half full of hot water on lower oven rack. Bake cheesecake 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until edges are set but center of cheesecake still jiggles slightly when moved.
  • Turn oven off; open oven door at least 4 inches. Leave cheesecake in oven 30 minutes longer. Remove from oven; place on cooling rack. Without releasing side of pan, run knife around edge of pan to loosen cheesecake. Cool in pan on cooling rack 30 minutes. Cover loosely; refrigerate at least 6 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Run knife around side of pan to loosen cheesecake again; carefully remove side of pan. Place cheesecake on serving plate. Stir together caramel topping, 2 teaspoons bourbon and dash bitters. To serve, drizzle with caramel and sprinkle with pecans. Cover and refrigerate any remaining cheesecake.

WHITE CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE



White Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake image

About 20 years ago my husband came home from a company party raving about the pumpkin cheesecake they served. As I am not a pumpkin lover this didn't sound at all appetizing. Shortly afterwards I came across this recipe in a magazine but I don't recall which one. Although I do love cheesecake I did not expect to like this at all....

1 1/2 c crushed ginger snaps
1/4 c melted butter
3 pkg cream cheese

3/4 c pumpkin
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

1/2 c sliced, slivered or chopped almonds (i prefer sliced)

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start mixing it. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Do not overmix the cheesecake batter. Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help it set properly.
  • To make a chocolate ganache, simply melt chocolate and cream together in a double boiler or in the microwave.
  • Serve the cheesecake with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or berries.
