5 eggs
1-1/4 cups sugar

1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger root

Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and grease
a 9-inch springform pan.
Set aside a teaspoon or two of almonds or carrot
for the top of the cheesecake. Beat 3 of the eggs
with 3/4 cup of the sugar. Fold in the pumpkin,
carrot, flour, orange zest, ginger root, and almonds.
With a fork, spread this mixture in the prepared pan.
Bake on a baking sheet for 40 minutes. The center
will have a custardlike consistency.
In a food processor or mixing bowl, beat the cream
cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar,
the remaining 2 eggs, the sour cream, and the salt.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the baked pumpkin
shell. Sprinkle the reserved almonds or carrots on top.
Bake for 45 minutes or until firm. Chill.
