how about a sweet potato flan... that you can make with pumpkin too if you rather or a coconut tembleque, a puertorican holiday dessert. An Indian carrot burfi would definitely be different and very easy to make and serve.
I will be trying myself a pumpkin tres leches cake... wish me luck.

three layer pumpkin cheesecake with a praline crust sound good? K-Paul's sweet potato-pecan pie is awesome and i never have any leftovers when i bring that to a dinner. The pumpkin cheesecake is a pumpkin pie layer on top, a pumpkin and creamcheese middle layer and a basic cheesecake batter for the initial layer-- crust is dark brown sugar, ground pecans, melted butter, gingersnap cookies crushed.

@hobcat57 ~ that's the recipe I've been looking for and discussed on another thread. I called it pumpkin cheesecake pecan pie, but you've got all the elements. Share, please?

And, we've had a few get-togethers since then, birthday parties and a potluck, and I've had to make it for those events, too. There's never a piece left!
