Wow, this pumpkin cheesecake is amazing. The cheesecake itself has a wonderful fall spice pumpkin flavor. It's perfectly smooth and the praline topping adds a marvelous crunch to every bite. Consider putting aside the pumpkin pie and serving this cheesecake at your holiday dinner.

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!
