Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
Ingredients:
Pumpkin Filling
1/2 cup brown sugar (90g)
3/4 cup pumpkin puree (180mL)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (2.5mL)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (2.5mL)
pinch cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon cornstarch (10mL)
1 egg
3/4 cup evaporated milk (180mL)
Cheesecake Filling
16oz (2 blocks) cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (2.5mL)
2 eggs
Pie Pastry
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour (300g)
1 teaspoon salt (5mL)
1 teaspoon sugar (5mL)
1 cup of cold butter (240g)
1/4-1/2 cup cold water (60mL-120mL)
9″ pie plate
maple leaf cutter
rolling pin
egg white
Procedure:
Mix brown sugar, spices, salt and cornstarch together in a stand mixer (or by hand). Add pumpkin and mix until smooth. Add eggs one at a time until incorporated. Slowly add milk and mix until combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Mix until combined. Set aside.
If using pie pastry, roll out dough and transfer to pie plate. Trim excess using scissors. Ball up scraps and re-roll out. Using the leaf cutter, cut enough leaves to create a border around the top of the pie plate. Before applying leaves, brush with egg whites. Place leaves around the top, and brush again with egg white.
Pour cheesecake filling into centre of pie plate and smooth. Pour pumpkin filling on top of cheesecake filling. Place into preheated oven at 375F for 60-70 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Serve with whipping cream if desired.
