Pumpkin Torte image

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 large torte, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (, about 12 long crackers)
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups pumpkin (canned)
3 egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
3 egg whites

Steps:

  • Mix crust ingredients until moist, and press*very* gently and evenly into bottom of 9"x13" cake pan.
  • Blend'cream cheese mix' ingredients until smooth and free of lumps; I find it easiest to cream the cheese& sugar together, then gradually add the egg.
  • Pour over crust, then bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees Farenheit.
  • Cool to room temp.
  • Combine all'pumpkin mix' ingredients except last three (egg whites, gelatin and 1/4 cup sugar); cook on stovetop until thickened.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Dissolve gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water; add to pumpkin mixture.
  • Cool to room temperature.
  • Whip the egg whites, gradually adding 1/4 cup sugar, until stiff.
  • Gently fold into pumpkin mixture.
  • Fill cake pan with pumpkin mixture; chill and serve with whipped cream.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but this torte was really good. The filling was light and fluffy, and the crust was perfectly flaky.

This torte was a lot of work, and it didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my torte turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbaked it.

I've made this torte twice now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The first time I made it, I followed the recipe exactly. The second time, I added a bit of chocolate chips to the filling. Both versions were delicious.
