  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract
  • 1 box Pepridge Farm Chessman Cookies
  • 1/2 box Nabisco Vanilla Wafers
  • 1/4 cup White Sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 stick Melted salted butter (more or less)
  • 2 1/2 packages Philadelphia Cream Cheese
  • 10 oz Puree Pumpkin
  • 2 cup White Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 6 Whole Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream

Method

  • To begin the whipped cream, place all of the ingredients into the tub, that the whipped cream comes in, stir with a spoon, recover and place into the fridge.
  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Next, place the entire bag of chessman cookies and 1/3 box of vanilla wafers into a blender or food processor.
  • Blend until fine.
  • Place the ground cookies into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add in sugar and cinnamon.
  • Add in 2 tablespoons of melted butter at a time until the cookies are coated in butter, but do not become mushy.
  • Use some of the remaining melted butter to brush 2 pie pans.
  • Pack the cookie mixture into the bottom, and up the sides of the pie tins.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper on each pie shell, place dry beans on the inside and bake for 15mins.
  • (The beans will weigh down the cookie crusts so that they do not rise while baking)
  • While your pie crusts are baking, place all of your cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and mix until light and whipped.
  • Add sour cream into cream cheese and mix again until light and fluffy
  • Start boiling a kettle of water
  • Lastly, add in remaining ingredients and blend well.
  • Make sure there are no lumps in any of the batter
  • The pie crusts should be done baking by now.
  • Distribute cheesecake filling evenly between both pie shells.
  • Place both your cheesecakes in a large pan, or if you do not have a pan large enough, place each cheesecake into their own separate pans and into the oven
  • Without pulling the rack from out of the oven, pour the boiling water into the large pan that the cheesecakes are sitting in (creating a water bath)
  • Close the oven and bake the cheesecakes for 1.5 hours.
  • Do not open the oven at any time during the cooking process
  • When the 1.5hours are up, turn off the oven.
  • Open the oven door so that some heat can escape, then close the door again and let the pies sit for an hour
  • Place on a counter or window sill to cool down, then place into the fridge (preferably overnight) to chill.
  • Serve with whipped cream and enjoy!
