Erin’s Favorite Holiday Pie – Pumpkin Double Chocolate Cheesecake

Y’all.

I have to share this recipe with you. And you have to make it.

Many years ago, I created this recipe…and will be making it for the third year in a row (in 2010).

Updated to add that I’ve made this pie every year for the past 9 years 🙂

Half of this pie is reserved for me…everyone else gets a sliver.

Just kidding.

Maybe. 

Maybe not. *snort*

I love the pumpkin and chocolate flavors together.

Plus I love creamy, smooth pies and cheesecakes.

So a pie with a thin layer of mini-chocolate chips, then a chocolate cheesecake layer with a pumpkin pie layer on top…Sends me straight on into pie heaven.

This is definitely my favorite ALL-TIME holiday pie! I’ve made it every year for the past 9 years! 

Enjoy!

Prep Time30 minutes

Cook Time1 hour 10 minutes

Servings - 8 slices

Equipment

• 9-inch pie plate
• pie crust shield

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 cup shortening or butter
• 2 Tbsp cold water (2-4 Tbsp)
• 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• 8 oz. cream cheese softened
• 1/8 cup white sugar
• 5 Tbsp cocoa
• 1 egg
• 15 oz. can pumpkin puree
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice mix
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 eggs

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a deep dish pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
• To prepare homemade pie crust, place flour in mixing bowl; add butter and cut in with pastry blender. Add salt and then add cold water 1 Tablespoon at a time. Mix and toss ingredients together with a fork until dough ball forms. Place in plastic wrap or Ziploc baggie and put into the refrigerator while you make the filling. Pie crust can be made up to a day in advance and kept in the refrigerator.
• In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, cocoa and egg.
• In another mixing bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpking pie spice mix. Whisk in the eggs.
• Once filling is prepared, take the dough ball from the fridge and place on lightly floured surface.
• Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the crust dough into a circle at least 12 inches in diameter and gently fold pie crust into quarters. Move the folded pie crust from the counter to the pie plate.
• Unfold in the pie plate. Flute edges in your favorite design.
• Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips in the base of the pie shell.
• Spread the cream cheese filling over top of the chocolate chips, then pour the pumpkin filling on top of the cream cheese layer.
• Bake at 375 for 60 to 70 minutes, or until filling has set in the middle. Use a pie crust shield, or foil to keep the crust edges from burning.
• Let cool completely on cooling rack. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.
• Serve Pumpkin Double Chocolate Cheesecake, chilled.
