Stir well with a spatula or hand whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and lump-free.<\/li>\n<li>In a separate, well-chilled bowl, whisk the cold double cream with electric beaters until it forms soft, firm peaks.<\/li>\n<li>Carefully fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin and cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula and gentle, upward motions to maintain the airiness of the cream.<\/li>\n<li>Divide the prepared cream mixture evenly into four individual dessert cups or small ramekins.<\/li>\n<li>Evenly sprinkle 1\/2 tbsp of caster sugar over the surface of each serving. Using a kitchen blow torch, caramelise the sugar until it forms a golden, crisp crust. (Alternatively, place under a preheated grill for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Serving &amp; Leftovers<\/h2>\n<p>Serve this delicious cheesecake immediately to best enjoy the crisp caramelised topping. If you prefer a firmer texture, you may refrigerate the individual desserts for at least 30 minutes before caramelising and serving. Any leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the caramelised crust will lose its crispness.<\/p>\n<h2>Nutrition<\/h2>\n<p>Nutritional values are estimates only and may vary depending on specific ingredients, preparation methods, and portion sizes.<\/p>\n<h2>One Last Thing<\/h2>\n<p>Embracing quick, satisfying desserts like this unveils new culinary possibilities, proving that exceptional taste doesn&#8217;t always demand extensive time.
