Cheesecake with a pumpkin flavor...perhaps regular pumpkin pies are out this Thanksgiving. Thanks!

I didn't really care for this cheesecake by itself. Once I topped it with Simply Pure Maple Whipped Cream all the flavors came together. I do think that the cheesecake should cook a little longer. Made for Newest Zaar Tag
