From the kitchen of Renee Wilson<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Crust<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lightly butter a 9 1\/2″ spring form pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a small bowl, mix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 1\/2 c amaretti or gingersnap cookies, finely crushed (7oz)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press evenly into the bottom & about 1″ up the side of the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake @ 350 for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheesecake<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In a mixer, on high speed, beat until smooth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 oz cream cheese, at room temp<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 c sugar<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beat in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/4 c cornstarch<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On low speed add:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 large eggs<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/3 c heavy cream<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tsp vanilla<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

grated zest of 1 lemon<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

32 oz container whole ricotta, put through a sieve<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beat just until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour 1 1\/2 c of the cheese mixture into a medium bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15 oz can pumpkin (1 3\/4 c)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 c light brown sugar, put through a sieve<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 large egg YOLK<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tsp cinnamon<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tsp ginger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 tsp cloves<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beat on low until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour the plain cheesecake into the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top with large spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a knife, swirl to marbleize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the pan in a large roasting pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add enough nearly boiling water to come 1\/2″ up the sides of the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake @ 325 for 1 hr 45 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

or until a knife inserted 1″ from the edge comes out clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The center might seem slightly unset, but it will firm when cooled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove the cake from the roaster, cool on a rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run a knife around the inside of the pan to release from sides, but leave sides attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
