- 24 Oz Regular Whipped Cream Cheese Spread
- 8 Oz BelGioioso Mascarpone (available at Walmart , for $3.97 for 8 oz cup)

- 1 Tablespoon Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- 5 Large Brown Eggs
- 18 Oz Ready Crust Graham Pie Crust makes enough batter for (2) 9 oz. pie shells
Instructions
- Place pumpkin seeds and toffee bits in a food processor, and pulse until mixture resembles larger breadcrumbs. Set aside in an airtight container.
- Preheat oven to 300ºF. While oven preheats, place a pan of water on the lowest oven rack to create steam.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, pumpkin, sugar, salt, molasses and pumpkin pie spice.
- Use the whip attachment on medium-high speed until everything is creamy and well incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
- With mixer running, slowly add vanilla extract then add eggs one at a time, allowing each to incorporate fully.
- Continue to whip on medium-high speed until mixture is fluffy and creamy. Divide batter evenly between the graham cracker pie crusts.
- Bake 45 minutes then turn oven off. Leave cheesecakes in oven for an additional 30 minutes or until centers are fully set.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly. While cheesecakes are still a little warm, sprinkle toffee crumble liberally over each.
- When completely cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours to allow cheesecakes to set up. *Overnight is recommended to help set proper texture.
- Serve with fresh whipped cream or caramel sauce if desired.
