PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE WITH CARAMELIZED PECAN TOPPING
What a wonderful way to end your fall dinner. This cheesecake would be especially good at Thanksgiving. Using a straight-sided glass to press crumb mixture onto bottom and up sides of springform pan will make that job a little easier. This cheesecake is best if made a day ahead and adding the topping about 30 minutes before serving. I haven't included cooling time in the prep or cook time. This recipe is originally from Southern Living.
