Well I was trying out a new recipe I created for the Thanksgiving dessert this week and this is what came of it. I was just going to make my traditional pumpkin pie but I saw an idea for this and it looked so yummy. However all the recipes I found used sooo much cream cheese!
What you need:
- 2 c. crushed oreos
- 3 T melter butter
- 3 pk. cream cheese
- 1 c. sucanat (or white sugar)
- 1 t. vanilla
- 1 can pumpkin
- 3 eggs
- 1 t. pumpkin pie spice
Melt the butter and crush the oreos. Spread evenly on the bottom of a spring form pan. Press down on the bottom and about half way up the sides.
Blend the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, pumpkin, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice. I use a hand mixer so that there aren't any chunks of cream cheese left.
Pour into the springform pan on top the crust. Bake at 350F for 55 - 60 minutes.
When it's done baking take it out and let it cool for a while. Pop it out of the springform pan. Melt caramels and chocolate chips and drizzle on top. You could also add pecans to make it a true turtle cheesecake. (Neither me or hubby are big fans of them so I didn't add any.)
