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 |
| 4 eggs |
| Whipped topping, for garnish |
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
