    White Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake


    1-1/2 cups crushed gingersnap cookies (about 32 cookies)
    1/4 cup butter, melted
    3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
    1 cup sugar
    3 eggs, lightly beaten
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    5 ounces white baking chocolate, melted and cooled
    3/4 cup canned pumpkin
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    ALMOND TOPPING:
    1/2 cup chopped almonds
    2 tablespoons butter, melted
    1 teaspoon sugar

    Recipe




    In a small bowl, combine gingersnap crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan; set aside.

    In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in melted white chocolate.

    Combine pumpkin and spices; gently fold into cream cheese mixture. Pour over crust. Place pan on a baking sheet.

    Bake at 350� for 55-60 minutes or until center is just set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the topping ingredients; spread in a shallow baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring twice. Cool.

    Carefully run a knife around edge of springform pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Transfer topping to an airtight container; store in the refrigerator.
    Just before serving, sprinkle topping over cheesecake. Refrigerate leftovers.

    Yield: 12 servings.
