| death by chocolate pumpkin cheesecake for thanksgiving dessert |
This is from the Death by Chocolate cook book by Marcel Desaulneire. He used to have a TV show...years ago.... My extended family moved to Williamsburg, Virginia about 15 years ago. When I visited we always stopped for an awesome meal at Marcel's restaurant the Trellis. (sadly closed a few years ago) It was there that I bought the autographed copy of the cookbook. Whenever I need something special that will wow the audience I pull something out of this book. This is a double decker chocolate and pumpkin cheesecake. You make each cheesecake separately…the chocolate one is made in a spring form pan and it has the crust. The pumpkin cheesecake…is baked in a regular cake pan without a crust then you put it on top.....and yes it is all topped off with chocolate ganache....wonderfully delicious and covers all cracked cheesecake issues....add the extra cookie crumbs on the sides to guild the lily...this is decadent and special...there are a lot of steps....none of them hard.
