PRALINE PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Prepare a standard size springform pan with some cooking spray.
• 3. Mix together the dry ingredients.
• 4. Add the 1 stick of melted butter and combine.
• 5. Press it into the springform pan, inching it up the sides as much as you can. This will make the cheesecake look amazing.
• 6. Filling: Mix all of the filling items until they are well incorporated.
• 7. Be sure the cream cheese is at room temp so it does not leave any lumps when well mixed.
• 8. Pour everything into the prepared crust.
• 9. Put into a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
• 10. After 1 hour, test to be sure it doesn't jiggle too much in the center, take it out and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
• 11. Cover with Saran Wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
• 12. PRALINE TOPPING: Put the pecans in a skillet and let them cook, stirring them around on a medium heat for about 5 minutes. This brings out flavor!!
• 13. Then add the butter, sugar, and cinnamon and on a medium-high heat. Allow this to caramelize for about 5 minutes.
• 14. Empty the mixture out onto waxed paper and allow to cool.
• 15. Remove the cheesecake from the fridge and carefully remove the Saran Wrap trying to avoid water droplets from falling on the cheesecake.
• 16. Crumble apart and top off the cheesecake with the mixture. Add some fresh whipping cream and serve. OH YUM!
