Pumpkin cheesecake.
For many sweet recipes with pumpkin like the one below, it is always recommended to make the homemade puree by roasting the vegetable and draining the water well, thus gaining flavor and texture. For the base you can choose the cookies that you like the most, or choose to prepare a shortcrust pastry or similar instead.
Ingredients for a mold of about 22 cm
150g breakfast biscuits
60g of butter
450g cream cheese
120g brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of cloves
1 pinch of salt
3 eggs L
250 ml of pumpkin puree.
How to make pumpkin cheesecake
Take all the ingredients out of the fridge half an hour before starting. Preheat the oven to 175ºC and grease or line a removable round mold with parchment paper. Crush the cookies, add the melted butter and mix. Cover the bottom of the mold.
Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl, with a wire mixer, until very smooth. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt and beat. Add the eggs one at a time, beating slightly after each addition. Add the pumpkin and beat a little more.
Fill the mold with the mixture, leveling the surface, and bake for 30 minutes. Lower the temperature to 160ºC and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out practically clean. Let cool for a few minutes out of the oven and carefully unmold.
And don't forget to take advantage of the crunchy seeds; simply as a snack to peck they are addictive. I also like to use them as toppings in soups, creams, salads or mixed with yogurt, cereals and fruit.
Prepare crunchy seeds:
We clean the pumpkin seeds under a stream of cold water. When we have the clean seeds, separated from the filaments and remains of pulp, let them dry on kitchen paper. Then we place them on a tray, season with salt and pepper and mix with the spices that we like, for example: curry, cumin or paprika. They can also be made sweet, with a little sugar or honey, cinnamon and ginger. Put the tray in the oven for 20 minutes. They should be crisp and golden.
The Wine: Rewind
Very bright greenish-straw yellow white, native Rioja viura, very fruity, highlighting aromas of apple with a touch of citrus, and a background of dried fruit. On the palate, a soft and fresh entry stands out, with a persistent attack, good medium body, highlighting the excellent harmony between acidity and fruit. Persistent and long.
It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with a wide variety of tapas, shellfish and fish.

The Winery
The Street Wines winery fits perfectly with the Bebedistinto concept, because, like us, they believe that there is more wine than the one dominated by norms, classicism and great producers. We all have Rioja wines, like serious, classic wines; street wine arrives stomping to make us break this taboo, without neglecting the quality and personality of its wines.
Good wines for people fleeing classicism and looking for new sensations.

The Wine: Then
Pale yellow white wine of a certain complexity. On the nose it presents a high aromatic intensity where the aromas of white fruit and citrus stand out above all, surrounded by the smoked aromas of barrel aging. On the palate we find an elegant, unctuous and intense wine with a good final balance. Ideal to combine with shellfish and white fish, as well as with rice and semi-cured cheeses.
