After about ten minutes, carefully add the warm mixture of pumpkin and cream, salt, vanillin, simmer over low heat until lightly thickened for about half an hour. Then we turn off the fire, add the oil, bring everything to homogeneity (the oil should completely dissolve).
- Pour the resulting pumpkin mass into a prepared baking sheet (mold), wait until it cools and hardens (an hour and a half or two, no less, otherwise it will be impossible to cut into pieces). After the specified time, turn the form over, separate the paper, cut the Caramel pumpkin dessert into squares (or whatever you like), put it on a dish or beautiful portioned waxed paper, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Based on the "Caramel" recipe, you can make more than one pumpkin dessert. The main thing is to turn the pulp of the pumpkin into a homogeneous mass of puree.

Pumpkin dessert "Cheesecake"
- friable cookies - 200 g;
- butter - 100 g;
- icing sugar - 3 tablespoons;
- vanillin - a pinch;
- cream cheese - 250 g; (or good quality cottage cheese, tender, fresh, not dry, without grains, you can add a spoonful of sour cream to it and beat with a blender, you get a mass very similar to cream cheese) -
- chopped lemon or orange zest - 1 teaspoon;
- cinnamon - half a teaspoon;
- heavy cream or sour cream - 3 tablespoons.
How to make pumpkin cheesecake dessert
- Wrap cookies in a bag, grind them with a rolling pin until they are evenly crumbled.
- Melt the butter in a water bath, pour into the cookies, mix thoroughly.
- We line a baking sheet or form with baking paper, tamp the cookie mixture on the bottom, put in the oven, bake at 200 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Grind the baked pumpkin with sugar into mousse using a blender, add cheese (or curd mass), cream (sour cream), zest, cinnamon.
- Put the pumpkin and cottage cheese filling on the base cake, bake at 180 degrees for another 10 minutes.
Sometimes the pumpkin filling turns out to be too liquid, this may be due to the juiciness of the pumpkin, the way it is cooked in mashed potatoes (baking pumpkin in the oven gives less liquid than boiling it over a fire), fat content and consistency of sour cream, cream.
Also try to gradually combine products, pumpkin with cottage cheese, for example, maybe the thickness will be sufficient without sour cream (especially there is a risk if you use not ready-made cream cheese, but curd mass, which already contains sour cream or cream).
Another option is to make a pumpkin dessert “Cheesecake” according to the same recipe without baking, but with the addition of gelatin to the filling. Dissolve the bag in water, as indicated on the package, beat the mass with a blender, put it on the base of cookies in a split form, let it brew. The top should turn out to be gentle and keep its shape.
Such a pumpkin dessert, like any cheesecake, is best served chilled. Bon Appetit!
