Pumpkin Cheesecake

CRUST:
Heat oven to 350°F. Mix cookie crumbs and margarine. Press to the bottom of an ungreased Springform cheesecake pan. Bake in oven ten minutes; cool.

FILLING:
Reduce oven temp to 300°F. Beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and all three spices in large bowl on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Add pumpkin. Beat in eggs one at a time on low speed. Pour over crumb mixture. Bake until center is firm. (About 1 1/4 hours.) Cover and refrigerate at least three hours, but no longer than 48 hours.

TOPPING:
Put 2 Tbs sugar and walnut halves in a small pan and heat on stove until sugar is melted and nuts are coated with the melted sugar. Remove from heat, spread on dinner plate or aluminum foil to cool. Once cooled, break apart nuts and set aside.

Loosen cheesecake from side of pan and then remove side of pan. Beat whipping cream in chilled bowl until stiff. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla and 2 Tbs powdered sugar. Mix well. Spread whipping cream over top of chilled cheesecake, then arrange sugared nuts on top. Store in fridge until ready to serve.

HINT: When making the whipped topping, make sure you use a glass bowl that has been chilled in your freezer until it is COLD. Place the beaters from your mixer in the freezer, too, so that they are cold.

ENJOY!

On the top crust take some milk and spread on top not alot just enough to make it look a little shiny then take a Tbsp. of sugar and sprinkle on top. Put your pie crust protector on top bake for 41 minutes with that on. Take that off and bake for 4 minutes till crust edges brown take out and you have a homemade pie. 830I never baked really unless it was from a box and my husband loves pies so I had to learn and now he says I have mastered it down.. The milk and sugar on the top crust give it the flakiness.
Enjoy.. 2 1/4 c. flour1/2 tsp. salt7 tbsp. sugar8 tbsp. water1 crisco butter stick
