PUMPKIN SPICE CRUMBLE WITH PEAR AND CRANBERRY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the crumble topping: In a food processor, combine the diced butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pecans, oats, flour, pumpkin spice and salt. Pulse in short bursts of 3 to 5 seconds until the mixture resembles little pebbles. Or combine in a bowl and mix well, then work the mixture by hand to the desired texture. Reserve, chilled. (The mixture may be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen indefinitely.)
• For the filling: Combine the pears and cranberries in a large bowl and sprinkle the cornstarch, granulated sugar, ginger, orange zest and salt over the fruit. Mix well to combine.
• Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Transfer the fruit mixture to the baking dish and spread into an even layer. Scatter the crumble topping over the fruit, covering it completely. Bake until bubbling and browned on top, about 40 minutes. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
• Serve with Pumpkin Spiced Whipped Cream, vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt. For a unique flavor twist, try coffee ice cream.
• In a large bowl, combine the whipping cream, sugar, pumpkin spice and vanilla extract or bourbon. Beat vigorously with a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks form. Serve immediately.

PUMPKIN-RICOTTA CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
• Combine walnuts, sugar, melted butter, flour, cinnamon, and salt for crust in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until well mixed and walnuts are ground. Spread mixture over the bottom of the prepared pan, pressing down to cover the entire bottom and a little bit up the sides. Place in the refrigerator until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat cream cheese and ricotta cheese in a mixing bowl until well combined. Stir in sugar, melted butter, eggs, cornstarch, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla. Add sour cream and pumpkin puree; stir to combine. Pour over the chilled crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are puffed and surface of cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave cheesecake in for 1 more hour.
• Remove from the oven. Run the tip of a table knife around the edges of the pan, set the pan on a wire rack, and allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until completely chilled, 4 hours to overnight.
• At the same time, chill a mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
• Add whipping cream to the chilled bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Whisk in pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
• Remove cheesecake from the refrigerator. Remove the band from the pan; take a large knife or spatula and carefully run it under the bottom of the cheesecake to loosen it. Transfer cheesecake to a serving platter. Slice and serve with pumpkin whipped cream.
