Ingredients:
2 cups crushed vanilla wafers |
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans |
3 tablespoons brown sugar, firmly packed |
1 stick butter, melted |
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar |
16 oz. Neufchatel cheese |
1 cup pumpkin, canned, solid-pack |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/8 teaspoon ginger, ground |
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, ground |
