recipe of the week: mascarpone and pumpkin torte

yes, i'm still on the pumpkin bandwagon. remember when i made a mascarpone and lime torte? well i had a little left over pumpkin puree so i left out the lime and tried the pumpkin mixed with the mascarpone. yum. i only made 2 ramekins worth (in case it was no good) so my measurements were a little random. i'm just going to assume the pumpkin pie spice quantities would work...

watch this space *tomorrow=pumpkin cheese cake*

mascarpone and pumpkin torte

200g pack ginger biscuits, crushed
50g butter, melted
2 x 250g tubs mascarpone cheese
1C pumpkin puree (this is really a guess)
40g icing sugar, sifted
1t ground cinnamon
1/2t ground ginger
1/8t ground clove

18 inch spring form pan or 6-8 ramekins

mix together the crushed biscuits and the butter and press it into the base of your chosen dish.
whip together the mascarpone cheese, icing sugar, pumpkin and spices .
spread cheese over the biscuit base.
chill for 30 minutes.
