Pumpkin Cheeso

Pumpkin Cheeso           10 Portions:

Ingredients:
1 kg. of (Pureed) pumpkin, canned
250 gm. of Cheese (See Recipe Below)
100+50 gm. of sugar = 150 gm
1/3rd tea spoon of cinnamon powder
2 tea spoons of grand marnier or, banana liquor
2 tea spoon of butter
1 tea spoon of lemon zest, minced
10 (Fresh) mint leaves, for garnish
* whipped cream

(Recipe for Cheeso)
In a pot, take 200 ml. of heavy cream, 100 gm. of sugar and cook on a low heat and stir constantly, till you get a nice thick texture. Now, add 1 tea spoon of cardamom powder and mix it well. Continue cooking on low heat till you see it has a very thick texture. Take it off the fire. It will harden slowly. Now, you turn it to some crumbles using your hands. Keep it in the fridge for 30 min.

Method:
First, in a pot, you take the butter, melt it and add the 50 gm. of sugar & the p-puree in it. Cook on a low heat for about 6-7 min. Add the cinnamon, g-marier/b-liquor and the l-zest and mix it well, and continue cooking on a low heat for 5-6 more min. Make sure you stir it constantly, specially at the bottom of the pot. Take it off the fire. Refrigerate it for 1 hour. After 1 hour, you take a bowl and using a metal/plastic spatula mix the puree and the cheeso gently. For serving, use a martini glass. Put some of this amazing pumpkin mix in the glass, top with some whipped cream and garnish with the mint leaf. Very good colour, decoration and
taste!
