Pumpkin Cheesecake
This is one righteous pumpkin cheesecake. (Hmm, now that I think about it, what does that mean? I have visions of Alvin the Chipmunk taking a bite of this cake and squeeking "Righteous!") It's tall, it's proud, it's creamy. It loves being bathed in caramel sauce and whipped cream. It's what happens when a New York cheesecake decides to dress up for Halloween. For years my mother has been asking me to make a cheesecake for her (she is a "cake girl" and cheesecake her favorite cake), and for years I've declined (until now), because the whole process just seemed too complicated.
