Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup Gingersnap cookies
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 package Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Pumpkin puree
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, pulse the gingersnap cookies until finely ground. Add melted butter and pulse until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add flour and sour cream to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
6. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the baking dish. Drizzle half of the melted chocolate over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl the chocolate into the cream cheese mixture.
7. Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture and melted chocolate.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool in the baking dish for 2 hours.
10. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
11. Cut into bars and serve chilled.
