Spread pecans in a single layer in a pie plate. Microwave at high 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Chop pecans, and set 1/4 cup chopped pecans aside. Combine 1/4 cup chopped pecans and next 4 ingredients, mixing well. Divide mixture into 8 greased custard cups. Press crumb mixture evenly over bottom of custard cups. Microwave at high for 2 minutes; set aside. Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; gradually add brown sugar, mixing well. Add eggs and orange juice, mixing well. Add 1 tsp. orange rind, cardamom, and pumpkin; mix until smooth. Pour pumpkin mixture into prepared custard cups. Arrange custard cups in a circle in oven. Microwave, uncovered, at medium high 6-7 minutes or until pudding is set, rearranging cups halfway through cooking time. Garnish with reserved 1/4 cup chopped pecans and whipped cream, vanilla wafers, or orange rind, if desired. Serve pudding warm or chilled.
