Topping for Pumpkin Cheesecake

Again I come to the experts for advice -- this time a recipe. Does anyone have anything interesting that could be used to top a pumpkin cheesecake??? Hopefully nothing too elaborate. Any and all suggestions much appreciated.

I think this is a case where simple is best. I would stick to whipped cream. You could flavor the cream with some spices. You could mix some crushed pralines with the whipped cream Crème fraiche might be a nice alternative. Traditional fruit toppings don't seem right for pumpkin cheesecake. I think chocolate would be overpowering.

I did a pumkin cheesecake this weekend. Topping was sour cream sweetened with a little brown sugar. It's a nice combo of flavors.

Here is something a little different:

Take a box of instant vanilla pudding, replace the 2 cups cold milk with 2 cups cold heavy cream --- whip until thick, spread on pie.

My customers LOVE this alternative to whipped cream and it pairs nicely with the pumpkin.

I make a gingersnap crust for my pumpkin cheese cake. I reserve a few crumbs to sprinkle on top too.
