UPSIDE DOWN CARAMEL PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
I watched Wolfgang Puck make this on the Live with Regis & Kelly show and knew right away I would have to make this. Updated 1/09 - I have made this and have to agree with the reviews. This is not that good. The texture is NOT like a typical cheesecake, but rather like an under baked flan or custard. IF you can get past the texture issues, you might enjoy it-otherwise please pass this one on by.
