    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 🙂

    Pumpkin Double Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe from $5 Dinners

    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!

    Pumpkin Double Chocolate Cheesecake Pie

    My absolute favorite pie!
    Prep Time30 minutes
    Cook Time1 hour 10 minutes
    Servings - 8 slices

    Equipment

    • 9-inch pie plate
    • pie crust shield

    Ingredients 

    • 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.
