This was such a good alternative to the usual Thanksgiving pumpkin pie or cheesecake we always have. It is so unique and very easy to make. The flavor of the pumpkin combined with the creamy texture of the icing makes for an out-of- this-world dessert.Even my grandmother, who doesn't like pumpkin in anything,couldn't get enough and asked for the recipe! This will definitely become a tradition. Thanks! -
I have a friend who has made this cake for gatherings and it is always a crowd pleaser. She recommends making it 2 days ahead so all the flavors can blend. -
This was good and we enjoyed it. And it was easy to make.I had to cook mine about 20 minutes longer then the recipe stated, but we just moved so I'm just getting used to how my oven cooks. -
Loved the cream cheese frosting and will use it again. The crisp was a bit oily for my taste. -
Oh my goodness, is this good. This is one of those desserts that you can sit down and eat all by yourself. Everyone raved about it. Can't wait to make it again. Thanks for the recipe.
