How to Make Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

  1. 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.
  2. **Make the Crust:** In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups (190g) gingersnap cookies and ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar. Pulse until finely ground.
  3. Add 6 tablespoons (85g) melted unsalted butter and pulse until combined.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  6. **Make the Filling:** In a food processor, beat 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  7. 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.
  8. Process until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. **Make the Chocolate Swirl:** Melt 4 ounces (115g) semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Stir in 1 cup of the pumpkin mixture until well combined.
  11. Pour the remaining pumpkin mixture into the cooled crust.
  12. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture over the top and gently swirl with a knife or toothpick.
  13. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
  14. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  15. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  16. Lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
  17. Cut into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy!
