List of Ingredients




6 oz zwieback crackers, crushed
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted
24 oz cream cheese, softened
5 eggs
16 oz pumpkin
1 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 topping:
6 tbsp butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped




Recipe



Directions

Blend zwieback crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and the 6 tablespoons melted butter. Press firmly over bottom and up sides of a lightly buttered 9-inch spring-form pan. Chill. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the 3/4 cup sugar and the 3/4 cup brown sugar, beating until well
mixed. Beat in the eggs one at a time, until mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the pumpkin pie spice and the heavy cream at low speed. Mix in the pumpkin. Pour into prepared pan. Bake in a slow oven (325) for one hour and 35 minutes. While pie is baking, mix the topping ingredients (the last 3 ingredients), first the butter and
brown sugar until crumbly, then blending in the nuts. After the one hour and 35 minutes, remove the pie from the oven. Spread the topping over it, and return it to the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.
This cheesecake is rather large, and incredibly rich.
Serving suggestion: Some like this garnished with whipped cream and more walnuts, or with whipped cream and pecans.
