  1. Delicious! rich! creamy! decadant! wonderfully easy! followed the instructions exactly, I love this cheesecake.
     
  2. Didn't turn out well. Found this same recipe on another website after I had already made it. The correct way to make this is to pour the 1 cup of cream cheese filling into the bottom of the crust and mix the remaining cream cheese mixture with the pumpkin. The recipe listed here states to mix the 1 cup of cream cheese mixture with the pumpkin mixture. I didn't have enough pumpkin mixture to cover the first layer entirely. Very disappointed. It was like a cheesecake with a small amount of pumpkin. Instead, had I used the majority of the cheesecake filling to mix with the pumpkin it would have been delicious just like I have eaten before.
     
  3. Doesn't get any easier or any better than this! I have made regular pumpkin cheesecakes before but the layer in this makes it so much prettier!! I accidentally bought canned pumpkin pie mix, instead of just regular pumpkin so only added a little bit of the spices in. The layers turned out so beautifully. I think next time I might do 3 layers, two pumpkin and one white. The texture of the cheesecake is perfect too, delicious. I doubled the recipe and made two, I did bake it for 10 extra minutes.
     
  4. I followed the directions to a T, and it came out wonderful. This is a perfect holiday recipe!
     
  5. This was awsome. However, because I had 2 cups of fresh pumpkin I wanted to use, I tripped the spices and added more sugar and a tiny bit of salt in that part of the layer. This is one the best tasting cheesecakes I have had.

Tweaks

  1. Oh.... how we loved this! I'm so glad I chose this recipe for or Thanksgiving desert. It was so simple to make and the perfect way to end our meal. We love lots of flavor and spice, so I doubled the cinnamon, and adjusted the other spices by about a quarter and used allspice instead of cloves. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. I'll be making it again.
     
  2. So easy - and very tastety! I did have to bake it closer to 50 minutes. Dense cheesecake and yummy pumpkin pie - what couod be better! I did substitute 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon/clove/nutmeg trio of spices, which I am sure changed the taste slightly (didn't have ground clove).
     
  3. great recipe, easy to follow. i didn't have nutmeg so used ground ginger instead.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm not much of a cook, but I have a long history of avidly adoring the end results of cooking. Before retirement I worked as a crime scene investigator (No, I don't know as much as the stars of CSI apparently do and Yes, I am just as good looking), which means liver is not at the top of my list for dinner. My favorite son, who is an excellent cook, alerted me to this site and I'm finding it fascinating. I enjoy languages. Can't figure out why everyone doesn't learn Esperanto. :) My greatest passion is my 17 year old wife. Well, she was 17 when I met her and 37 years later she still looks the same as far as I am concerned so she must be still 17, right? Next in order are our kids: Two biological, 1 adopted, 4 foster, and one exchange student who either belongs to us or to some people in Japan (personally I think she belongs to us!!) Next passion are the 15 (to date) grandkids. Peeves? Onions!! I loathe, hate, disdain, detest, abhor, and simply dislike 'em. A month off? Visit the kids!! After that? Maybe, just maybe, update my web page.
