Preparation
- For the pumpkin puree: place the diced pumpkin into an oven proof dish and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Cover with aluminium foil and stew in the oven at 160 °C for approx. 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and blend smooth using an immersion blender.
- Preheat an oven to 280 °F (air circulation).
- For the base: add the melted butter to the cookie crumbs and mix well. Press firmly into the base of a greased cake tin.
- For the filling: blend the pumpkin puree with the remaining ingredients with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Fill the mixture into the cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for approx. 1 hour.
- For the topping: whisk the sour cream with the sugar until smooth. Spread the mixture onto the cake and bake for further 10 minutes.
- Note: The cheesecake is soft after baking. Chill for approx. 6 hours to set completely.
Hints
- Almond cookies can be used instead of Oreo® cookies.
