Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate cookies
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

For the filling:

  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs large
  • 15 oz Pumpkin Pure not pie filling (1 can)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 tsp salt

For the ganache:

  • 1 cup dark chocolate (chopped) could substitute dark chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream (+2 tbsp more if the glaze is too thick)

For garnishing:

  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted, for decoration

Instructions

For the crust:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
  • In a bowl, combine crushed cookies and butter. Mix to combine. 
  • Spread to the bottom of the pie dish and press to the bottom and sides. Bake for 6 minutes, then cool.

For the filling:

  • In a bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed to incorporate after each addition.
  • Add in pumpkin pure, vanilla, salt, pumpkin pie spice and heavy cream. Beat until just combined.
  • Pour  filling over the baked crust and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top/center is set.
  • Cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour.

For the ganache glaze:

  • Place the heavy cream in a small pot and bring to a boil. Pour over the chocolate. Stir until smooth. Add more hot creamer, if the glaze appears too thick.
  • Spread the glaze on top of the pie. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
    After that, you can drizzle with melted chocolate.
