The pumpkin cheesecake was awesome. Everyone at Christmas dinner enjoyed it. Just needed a good topping for it. Suggestions?

Delicious! Made it two weeks ago and everyone loved it. A friend asked me to bake it for a gathering tomorrow.

I make this every year! It is a total hit! I go the extra calorie route and add my delicious home made cream cheese frosting and decorate the whole cake artistically! Hides the crack if there are any and looks beautiful!! This year I am attempting to make into mini cheesecakes, anyone tried this? How long should I bake for any tips?

Saw you make this on the show once and I started making it. We love it. I press the graham cracker crust up against the sides of the spring form pan for a wonderfully look(and I love the crust) I also make 1.5 the amount of the crust for that reason. The only bad thing is, my family always requests it anytime we go somewhere.

Great cheesecake for the holidays! I have never made a cheesecake before and I expected it to be difficult but it was so easy to make. I made it for my fellow employees and everyone loved it so now I am going to make it for my family on Thanksgiving day. :]

made your pumpkin cheescake followed all steps after it was cooled it pulled away from the crust and cracked in the middle.. what did I do wrong??
By chuck on October 20, 2012
After reading through the previous comments, here are a couple suggestions... I decreased the butter in the crust to 1/2 stick and increased the cinnamon to 1 teaspoon. Regarding "butter leaks" and "cracking"...The first step should be to wrap the outside of the springform pan with a piece of wide, heavyduty foil. When you're ready to put it in the oven, set the wrapped springform on a half sheet pan and fill with hot water, bake as directed. This process eliminates a messy oven and prevents cracking.

By far the most delicious cheesecake I have ever made, and EVERYONE loved it for Thanksgiving, it's now forming a tradition that I bring a Pumpkin Cheesecake to every Thanksgiving dinner I go too. I'd give it ten stars if I could!
My first cheesecake cracked really badly, but just a heads up to other if you let it sit in the over for an hour after its done with the oven off and door open it won't crack at all ![]()

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE CRACKS in the cheesecake. JUST COVER THEM WITH SOME WHIPPED CREAM. it does not affect the taste at all. Also try cooking the cheesecake on a different "rack" in the oven and all ovens cook differently anyway. Don't let this deter you from making this cheesecake. It is definitely outstanding. Mine has cracked every time and I don't care about it one bit. As a matter of fact; no one at my table ever comments about the crack in the cheesecake. Who Cares.....Down the hatch it goes!!!!

There really should be a picture of this cheesecake along side the recipe. It is exceptional and I and I am sure many others; print these out and keep them in a binder for future reference. The recipes with pictures are twice as nice
By MaryLou on October 05, 2012
Sweet Jesus! I made these into cupcakes and topped them with whip cream. Delicious....YuM! Only thing i did was add more amount of each spice into batter. These are a TRADITION now-Requested every Year. Thank You So Much Paula, Your The BEST!

I made this pumpkin cheesecake last fall and everyone who tried it was in love with it and kept asking for the recipe. Can't wait to make it again this year!! (I used a store bought crust)
