Purée

  3. Cool slightly, and transfer to a processor.
  4. Add vanilla; purée until smooth.
  5. Strain into medium bowl; discard solids.
  6. Cover with plastic, and chill at least 6 hours.

  2. Blend cookies, sugar, and cinnamon in processor.
  3. Add butter, blend until moist clumps form.
  4. Press mixture onto bottom and up sides of pan.
  5. Chill crust while preparing fillings.
Filling

  5. Spread 1/3 of filling over the crust, dollop 1/3 of purée atop, and repeat twice.
  6. Using a butter knife, make a few zigzags cuts through batter to swirl purée and create the marbled design.
