Final Steps To This Creamy Irresistible Pumpkin Cheese Cake


For this stage, you'll require:


  • Equipment: Hand held electric mixer
  • The baked pumpkin cheese cake cooled and plated
  • 2 cups thickened cream for whipping
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree


Prepare Topping:


Measure in a large measuring jug, 2 cups of thickened cream. Be sure to use a jug that will sustain whipping using an electric beater.

Otherwise, measure out and pour into another beaker. I like to whip and mix in the measuring jug so as to save time and washing up.

Using a hand held electric beater, whip till it is thick and firm.

See in this picture how it is so thick it holds its shape.


Now, it is common to add fine caster sugar before whipping but I consider this optional and in fact hardly ever do so, to minimize my family's consumption of sugar.

If you're cooking your own fresh pumpkin for the puree, it's now time to get ready the pumpkin puree. Here's a cup of measured stewed pumpkin pieces.

Using a fork, puree the pumpkin till it is very smooth.

Let's start dressing the top of this delicious pumpkin cheese cake:




Spoon half the whipped cream onto the top of the pumpkin cheese cake. Just plop it on like in the photo.

Using a flat spatula or blunt wide knife, spread it out till the edges so that the cake top is well covered.

Do the same now with the pumpkin puree spreading it all around the top of the first layer.

Leave a margin of about 3/4 of an inch from the edge.

Repeat with the remainder of the whipped cream.

Take care not to mix in the orange pumpkin layer. Spread the topping all over so that it covers the top entirely.

To get the effect of swirls of white with bits of sharp orange, use the tip of a blunt butter knife to make gentle crescent shapes. Do this all over the topping.
