I made a pumpkin cheesecake last night that is almost the same recipe as above. I omitted the Bisquick so I could bake it in a 9 oz. pre-made graham cracker crust (the larger one of a popular brand). I have previously made the sour cream topping for another cheesecake recipe too. I didn't enjoy the grated orange peel. I will make it again, but will definitely leave out the orange peel. I will list my suggested tweaks in the "tweak" area. Before making the cheesecake, I had read a list of tips. I will list the tips that I used. My cheesecake had a large circular crack here and there around the top. Of course it didn't affect the taste, but it wouldn't win a blue ribbon on appearance :)
