Place the cookies in a resealable bag and use a rolling pin to crush them until you obtain a fine powder. Mix the cookies with the toasted peanuts, pumpkin seeds, amaranth, and butter. Place in a ring with parchment paper and press to compact. Set aside. For the cheesecake, beat the cream cheese until smooth, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest. Add the gelatin in a thin stream and beat until combined. Pour over the base and refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. For the pumpkin delight, in a small pot over medium heat, cook the piloncillo with water until you have a light caramel, add the pumpkin, cinnamon, star anise, allspice, and orange peel, and cook until the pumpkin breaks down, about 30 minutes. Cool. Blend the pumpkin delight and add the gelatin in a thin stream. Pour over the cheesecake and return to refrigeration until set. Unmold the cheesecake, decorate with whipped cream and pumpkin seeds.
