PUMPKIN TORTE

This is a traditional Thanksgiving recipe from my boyfriend's family. It is lighter and fluffier than pumpkin pie, and now I make it for our family every year. Be very careful pressing down the graham cracker crust, or it will come out much too hard; in fact you might not want to at all.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect crust, thoroughly mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar, ensuring they are evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to create a compact base for the torte.
  • For a smooth and creamy filling, use high-quality cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature. Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy before gradually adding the sugar. Mix in the pumpkin puree, spices, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Incorporate the gelatin mixture into the filling in three stages. Allow each addition to cool slightly before folding it into the filling to prevent curdling. This technique ensures the gelatin evenly thickens the filling.
  • For even cooking, bake the torte in a water bath. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan and surround it with hot water. This creates a humid environment that helps prevent cracks in the torte and ensures consistent baking throughout.
  • Refrigerate the torte for at least four hours before serving. Chilling allows the filling to set properly and develop its full flavor. For a more elegant presentation, top the torte with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
