Recipe



Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter; press firmly on bottom of 9-inch springform pan.

With mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in Eagle Brand until smooth. Add pumpkin, eggs, syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; mix well. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake 1 1/4 hours or until center appears nearly set when shaken. Cool 1 hour. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.

To serve, spoon some Maple Pecan Sauce over cheesecake. Garnish with whipped cream and pecans if desired. Pass remaining sauce. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator.

Maple Pecan Glaze: In medium-sized saucepan, combine 1 cup (1/2 pint) whipping cream and 3/4 cup pure maple syrup; bring to a boil. Boil rapidly 15 to 20 minutes or until slightly thickened; stir occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Cover and chill until served. Stir before serving.
