I added kabocha squash to our family's favourite petit size cheese cake, and arranged them into Halloween style.

※The baking time differs depending on the oven, so please adjust it.
※I used Philadelphia brand cream cheese.
※I bought a 200 ml carton of heavy cream so I made whipped cream with the remaining 50 ml. Recipe by Banyangarden

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 180℃. Bring the cream cheese to room temperature. Put cupcake liners (or aluminum cups) into a cupcake tin.
2

Remove the seeds, fibre, and skin from the kabocha squash, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Arrange in a heatproof dish, and microwave for about 5 minutes at 600W.
3

Mash with a fork while it's still hot.
4

Put all the ingredients into a blender or a food processor. Mix until there is no more cream cheese lumps. *This will be easier if you cut the cream cheese into small pieces.
5

Fill the liners with the batter about 70-80% full. You can also use ramekins!
6

Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes at 180℃. Insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean, they're done!
7

Remove from the cupcake tin, and let them cool on a rack. Freshly baked ones are hot and fluffy. When you chill them in the fridge over night, they will become moist and thick cheese cake.
8

When you take them out from the oven, the puffed cheesecakes deflate in the middle. It's cute to put whipped cream there as a topping.
9

Some might collapse in the middle as shown in the picture, but it's a sign of being homemade. Please hide it with decoration.
