Easy Kabocha Squash Cheesecake for Halloween

• 200 grams Kabocha squash (without the skin and seeds)
• 250 grams Cream cheese
• 1 pack Heavy cream
• 1 Egg
• 60 grams Sugar
• 20 grams Cake flour
• 1 tbsp Rum
• 100 grams Cookies (I recommend caramel cinnamon flavor)
• 50 grams Butter
• 1/4 tsp (to taste) (Cinnamon powder)

1. (Cookie bottom) Put the cookies through a food processor or mixer or put the cookies in a plastic bag and pound with a rolling pin into powder.
2. Put butter in a heatproof glass bowl and put it in the microwave for about 1 minute to melt butter.
3. Add Step 1 to it and mix.
4. If you are using a cookie that's not cinnamon flavored, add about 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
5. Lay parchment paper on the bottom of a 18 cm springform pan.
6. Pour Step 2 in the pan.
7. Place cellophane wrap on top and press hard with your hands to cover the bottom.
8. If possible, put in the fridge to chill.
9. Take the seeds and the fibrous parts out of the kabocha squash and cut into bite size.
10. Cut off the skin and wash (200 g).
11. Wrap in cellophane wrap while it is still moist and microwave until it is soft.
12. Preheat the oven to 320F/160C in advance.
13. If you have a food processor or mixer, blend Step 4.
14. If you don't, pass it through a sieve into a bowl while it is still hot.
15. Add cream cheese, sugar and egg to Step 5 and mix (it will be ready in just a second with a food processor).
16. When Step 6 is mixed well, add cake flour, heavy cream, rum and mix until smooth.
17. Pour the dough into the cake pan and bake it in a 320F/160C preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
18. Take it out of the oven and cool in the cake pan.
19. Chill well in the refrigerator and cut to serve.
20. My recommendation is fellow Cookpad user "Anna's" caramel cookie with ginger and cinnamon.
21. You can find it at the imported treats section of upscale supermarkets.
22. It is in a box.
23. The shape is easy to remember so try to look for it.
24. It is a perfect match with kabocha.
25. I made a Jack-O'-Lantern with chocolate.
26. Draw a picture with a pencil on a baking sheet and turn the baking sheet over.
27. Then draw with melted chocolate squeezed out of a cornet bag.
28. You can also bake this in a 18 x 18 cm or 20 x 20 cm square cake pan with the same amount of ingredients.
29. You can make 16 small pieces.
