Creamy pumpkin-shaped cheesecakes are stuffed inside the most amazing chocolate cupcake topped with a swirl of chocolate ganache frosting and Halloween sprinkles.
Un-mold them, and stick 2 cheesecakes together (put their backsides together then place them in the center of each cupcake liner making sure all the pumpkins are facing the same direction. (Mark your pan so you know which way they are facing.)
Place chopped chocolate in the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse until chocolate is fine crumbs.
Heat heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir often until it just comes to a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, put the lid on the food processor bowl, and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
Pulse for 3 seconds.
Remove lid and scrape down the sides and bottom of the food processor bowl.
Return lid and pulse for 5 more seconds or until the mixture, which is called ganache, is smooth.
Pour ganache into a mixing bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, then remove and stir.
Refrigerate for 15 more minutes.
Then use an electric mixer to beat the ganache until it's lighter in color.
Immediately spoon the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe big swirls over cooled cupcakes.
Add sprinkles on top if desired.
Store your chocolate cheesecake-stuffed cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
