Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake from [livejournal.com profile] mooncat75

Ingredients:
8 oz box of cream cheese
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
12 oz tube of chocolate chip cookie dough-(frozen works best)
9 inch glass pie pan

Steps:
-Cut the tube of cookie dough in half, put one half back in the freezer.
-Smooth one half of the cookie dough in the pie pan for a crust.
-Cream together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl.
-Spread cream cheese mixture onto the cookie dough ‘crust’. Crumble remaining cookie dough on top of the cream cheese mixture.

Put in oven and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Check on it by looking at the bottom of the glass pan, if the dough is still raw on the bottom, bake longer, checking periodically.

Options:
While the pie is still warm you can cut it for a marbling effect. If you can’t wait for the pie to cool, you can stir the pie before it sets and use it as an ice cream topping.

Pumpkin Cheesecake: from [livejournal.com profile] scribbulus_ink

1 can (16 oz) pumpkin
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
whipped cream topping

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease pie plate. Place all ingredients except for the whipped topping in a large bowl and mix on high for 2 minutes, scraping bowl constantly. Pour into pie plate.

Bake just until puffed and the center is dry, about 45 minutes (do not overbake). Let it cool, then spread the whipped topping over top and garnish with pecan halves or twists of orange peel if desired. Refrigerate any remaining cheesecake.

Chocolate Marble Cheesecake: from [livejournal.com profile] scribbulus_ink

Cheesecake:
1/2 cup chocolate wafer crumbs (I used crushed chocolate graham crackers)
1 tbsp butter or margarine, softened
3 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
5 large eggs
2 squares semi-sweet chocolate, melted

Chocolate sour cream frosting:
1 pkg (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1/ 2 cup sour cream

In a small bowl, combine the crumbs and the butter. Lightly grease the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan; press crumb mixture evenly on the bottom. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, add cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla.

With mixer set at medium speed, beat cream cheese mixture, scraping bowl and beaters as necessary, until mixture is smooth and no lumps remain. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Set one cup of the cream cheese mixture aside; pour the rest into the springform pan.

Into the cup of the reserved cream cheese mixture, fold melted chocolate. Spoon into the springform pan. Using a small spatula or knife, cut through the batter in a spiral motion for a marbled effect. Bake 50 minutes or until the mixture is just set (note: I had to bake it longer in order for the top to be evenly baked, which may be due to my crap oven, but still, it may take longer than 50 minutes). Remove to wire rack and cool completely. Refrigerate 2 hours.

Frosting: In the top of a double boiler over hot -- not boiling -- water, melt chocolate, stirring constantly. Remove top of double boiler from bottom; add sour cream. Using a wooden spoon, beat frosting until it's creamy and of spreading consistency.

Remove the side of the springform pan and frost. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. Cover any remaining cheesecake with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.
