Oh, yes. Pumpkin cheesecake, if you're so inclined - let me know.
However, my favorite is with cinnamon, splenda, nutmeg and cloves,
warmed up, and served with a little whipped cream. Oh, my.
You can also do a a sugar-free, crust-free pumpkin pie - just follow the
directions on the back of the can of pumpkin for a pie, but leave out
the crust, and add splenda instead of sugar. It's quite good.
Last but not least, I like it savory, with curry powder, garlic, and a
little butter or olive oil, baked through.
