White Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake

Crust 2 cups gingersnaps (whole)
6 tablespoons butter
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar

Filling 3 8 ounce cream cheese (softened)
¾ cup pumpkin
¾ cup melted white chocolate
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Topping ½ cup almonds
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap outside of 9-inch springform pan with foil. In food processor, grind gingersnaps. Add brown sugar and melted butter and press into bottom of pan. Bake 5-7 minutes. (I had to bake mine longer because crust still looked too soupy after 7 minutes.) Take out and keep oven at 350.

Mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until completely smooth.

Pour mixture into prepared crust and bake 50 minutes to an hour, until cheesecake starts to crack.

While cooling, process the almonds, butter, and sugar in the food processor. Spread evenly on cookie sheet and put in the oven for 6-7 minutes until starting to toast.

Spread evenly on top of cheesecake and cool 4-5 hours, remove ring of pan and serve.

here's one of my favorite show stoppers.

You get

zucchini
mushrooms
eggplant
cherry tomatoes
pearl onions
pineapple
and yellow, red, or orange bell pepper.

The big things you cut in chunks, and then you put them in some random variety on a skewer.

Then You glaze them with:

2 tablespoons of Honey
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
salt and pepper
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil


IT'S AWESOME! AND HEALTHY!

[charlie bear]

By the way... you grill them on the barbecue, and add as much glaze as makes you smile!
