Now, here's how to make the cream cheese batter


For this part of the pie recipe, you'll require:

  • 1 pound/500gm cream cheese
  • 1 1/3 cup mashed pumpkin
  • zest from one orange
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 heaped tablespoons of plain flour
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


Step 1:


Decant all the cream cheese into a roomy saucepan.

Turn the heat on the stove to medium high. The objective is not to cook the cream cheese, but to heat it lightly so that it mixes easily and smoothly.

Scrape over the cream cheese the orange zest.

To do this just scrape the orange skin of a whole orange over the zester. Only scrape the orange skin as the frangrant oils are in this part of the orange. Take care not to scrape the white pith - that's quite bitter.

If you're taking a bit of time to do the zesting, turn the heat off or down to very low. With experience, the zesting will take less than a minute.
