Made this for Thanksgiving. Got lots of nice comments! The gingersnap crust makes all the difference! Thanks for sharing! -
This was soooooo good and really not hard to make. I will be making this instead of pumpkin pie from now on. Thanks you so much! -
Very tasty! You can adjust the spices to your own taste (I like a *lot!). Not overly sweet, either. I recommend using a springform pan- if you try to use a standard premade pie crust, you may not have enough room in the dish for all the ingredients. -
Made this for Thanksgiving with rave reviews! I did a graham cracker crust, since that's what I had on hand. I'd like to try the gingersnap crust next time. -
The cheesecake was very good and very pretty. I thought it was fun to make. I did put a smigit more cinnamon and nutmeg though.
