I am honored to be your first reviewer, Seasoned Cook. I made and served this for Thanksgiving dinner, and it received rave reviews from the crowd! The mixture of cream cheese and pumpkin is heavenly, and the ring of pecans on top - - to die for! Thanks for sharing the recipe. It will be on my holiday menu for years to come.
