Ingredients

How to make it

  • Combine wafer crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of a greased 10-in. springform pan. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugars until smooth.
  • Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined.
  • Whisk in pumpkin, cornstarch, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice just until blended.
  • Pour into crust. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-65 minutes or until center is almost set.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • Combine topping ingredients; spread over filling. Bake at 350 degrees F for 6 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minute.
  • Carefully run a knife around the edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer.
  • Refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove sides of pan; set aside.
  • For spiderwebs, draw six 3-in. x 2-in. half circles on two sheets of parchment paper on top; tape both securely to work surface.
  • In a saucepan, bring the sugar, cream of tartar and water to a boil over medium heat.
  • Boil, without stirring, until mixture turns a light amber color and candy thermometer reads 350 degrees F.
  • Immediately remove from the heat and stir.
  • Cool, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until hot sugar mixture falls off a metal spoon in a fine thread.
  • Using a spoon or meat fork, carefully drizzle syrup over half-circle outlines and inside the outlines to form spiderwebs; reheat syrup if needed.
  • Cool completely.
  • Place melted chocolate in a resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Pipe 1-in. spiders onto parchment or foil; cool completely.
  • With remaining melted chocolate, pipe two or three dots on each web; attach spiders.
  • Remove sides of springform pan.
  • Cut cheesecake; place a web on top of each slice and remaining spiders on the side.
