Zubereitung von Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal.
- **Make the Crust:** In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups (190g) gingersnap cookies and ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar. Pulse until finely ground.
- Add 6 tablespoons (85g) melted unsalted butter and pulse until combined.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- **Make the Filling:** In a food processor, beat 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Process until just combined. Do not overmix.
- **Make the Chocolate Swirl:** Melt 4 ounces (115g) semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in 1 cup of the pumpkin mixture until well combined.
- Pour the remaining pumpkin mixture into the cooled crust.
- Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture over the top and gently swirl with a knife or toothpick.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
- Lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy!
