*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***
I'm needing to take a dessert to a gathering this weekend
and this is quite a fitting choice this time of year.
It's a SWIRLED PUMPKIN AND CARAMEL CHEESECAKE that is
sure to be a hit with any of your pals. This particularly
teams up luscious caramel and pumpkin nicely in a creamy
dessert that's right in step with the times. Impressive
right?
Enjoy! Marzee

RECIPE: SWIRLED PUMPKIN & CARAMEL CHEESECAKE
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*=
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
INGREDIENTS:
Crust
1 1/2 cups ground gingersnap cookies
1 1/2 cups toasted pecans (about 6 ounces)
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups canned solid pack pumpkin
9 tablespoons whipping cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
4 large eggs
4 tablespoons purchased caramel sauce
1 cup sour cream
DIRECTIONS:
Crust:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Finely grind crushed cookies,
pecans and sugar in processor. Add melted butter and blend
until combined. Press crust mixture onto bottom and up sides
of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides.
Filling:
Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar in large
bowl until light. Transfer 3/4 cup mixture to small bowl;
cover tightly and refrigerate to use for topping. Add pump-
kin, 4 tablespoons whipping cream, ground cinnamon and
ground allspice to mixture in large bowl and beat until well
combined. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating just until combined.
Pour filling into crust (filling will almost fill pan). Bake
until cheesecake puffs, top browns and center moves only
slightly when pan is shaken, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Trans-
fer cheesecake to rack and cool 10 minutes. Run small sharp
knife around cake pan sides to loosen cheesecake. Cool. Cover
tightly and refrigerate overnight. Bring remaining 3/4 cup
cream cheese mixture to room temperature. Add remaining 5
tablespoons whipping cream to cream cheese mixture and stir
to combine. Press down firmly on edges of cheesecake to even
thickness. Pour cream cheese mixture over cheesecake, spread-
ing evenly. Spoon caramel sauce in lines over cream cheese
mixture. Using tip of knife, swirl caramel sauce into cream
cheese mixture. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and re-
frigerate.)
Release pan sides from cheesecake. Spoon sour cream into
pastry bag fitted with small star tip (do not stir before
using). Pipe decorative border around cheesecake and serve.
Yield: 10 Servings

TIPS FOR BAKING CHEESECAKES:
* Avoid over-beating the cheesecake filling. Over-beating
incorporates additional air and tends to cause cracking on
the surface of the cheesecake.
* Use a springform pan (a pan with removable side and bot-
tom).
Placing the pan on a baking sheet helps to avoid leaks in
the oven.
* Always bake a cheesecake on the center rack of the oven.
* Don't be tempted to open the oven door during the first
30 to 40 minutes of baking, drafts can cause the cheesecake
to fall or form cracks.
* Avoid over-baking. Be aware that baking times are not al-
ways exact, due to variations in ovens. A perfectly baked
cheesecake will be puffed around the edges, yet the center
should be slightly moist and jiggly. Unless otherwise dir-
ected by your recipe, turn the oven off and allow cheesecake
to remain in oven, with the door ajar, for 30 minutes or un-
til center is completely set. Remove from the oven and cool
completely on a wire rack away from drafts before refriger-
ating.
* For optimum flavor, serve cheesecake at room temperature.
This takes about 30 minutes.
* Store in the refrigerator up to 4 days, loosely covered.
* Baked plain (minus topping) cheesecakes freeze well for up
to 2 months. Cool completely and wrap tightly in heavy-duty
foil or plastic wrap. To use, thaw frozen cheesecake over-
night in the refrigerator.
