Pecan Pumpkin Perfection

So you know it's about to be the holidays when... restaurants start bringing out the seasonal menu items. I was so excited when I saw that The Cheesecake Factory was serving the pumpkin cheesecake and the pecan pumpkin cheesecake! I decided to go for the pecan pumpkin cheesecake which is a combination of pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and cheesecake. The bottom layer is a graham crust and then the gooey caramel pecan pie filling. It isn't overly sweet and balances well with the pumpkin. The top layer is a light, fluffy pumpkin cheesecake. It has a great pumpkin flavor that is laced with cinnamon and nutmeg. The sweeter pecan layer adds depth to the pumpkin cheesecake and the pecans add crunch and texture. This really is the best of both worlds, so you never have to choose between pumpkin and pecan pie. So hurry on into The Cheesecake Factory and grab a slice before it's gone!
