Harvest Pumpkin Cheesecake

Filed under: Dining

You can buy all the pumpkin-shaped pans that you want and spend all day in the kitchen, but the odds are good that no matter how much time you put into it, you will have difficulty getting a cake to come out as perfectly as the this Harvest Pumpkin Cheesecake. We know we would, which is probably why we like this one so much. The 3-pound, handmade cake is entirely edible, including the realistically twisted stem. The cheesecake beneath the white-chocolate "skin" is swirled with an addictive pumpkin hazelnut toffee crunch and has a crispy cookie crust. With some judicious cutting, you'll probably get about 10 servings from this cake, making it a good choice for Thanksgiving, as well as for Halloween. Price: $100.
