3 eggs
4 squares white chocolate, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 dash of nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
Cream together first two ingredients. Melt white chocolate squares over a double boiler, if you do not have a double boiler, a glass bowl over water slightly rolling, but not a full boil will suffice.

Run knife around the edge of the spring form pan, then remove outer ring. Let cool for another 30 minutes.
Topping
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp brown sugar
