Cheesecake Filling

Method

Cheesecake Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until combined. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well blended.

  2. 2

    Add Chocolate

    Fold in the melted semi-sweet chocolate until thoroughly combined.

  3. 3

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

  4. 4

    Cool and Chill

    Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
