Watch as Better Homes and Gardens shows you this pumpkin dessert--a chocolate pumpkin pie! Chocolate desserts and fall baking are perfectly intertwined in this delicious holiday dessert. With a homemade chocolate pie crust and a creamy pumpkin pie filling, it's sure to be a hit with your family! Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, lightly coating a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1 1/2 cups of finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies in a medium bowl. Pour in 1/4 cup of melted butter, mixing it well. Spread this mixture evenly into the pie plate and up the sides, baking it for five minutes. Cool the pie on a wire rack as you start the pumpkin pie filling with eight ounces of softened cream cheese. Add a cup of sugar and beat them together with three eggs, one at a time. Don't over-beat. Next, add a 15-ounce can of pumpkin to make it a true fall dessert. Also add a teaspoon of vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, beating this whole mixture on low. Pour the batter into the chocolate pie crust, baking it until it is set at the center and slightly puffy around the edges. Cool the cheesecake recipe for an hour as you make the chocolate glaze. Melt a cup of dark chocolate and 1/3 cup of whipping cream in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir until it is smooth, allowing it to rest for 15 minutes. Pour this creamy glaze over the pumpkin pie, and spread it out evenly. Chill the dessert for an hour, then cover the pie and chill it for up to 24 hours longer.
