Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

This pumpkin cheesecake recipe is a nice change from the sweet sweet cheese cake recipes we often find.

It is flavored with ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg for a creamy sweet and savory combination that hits just the right note.

This cheesecake recipe is perfect for fall, when the weather just makes you think pumpkin, but with canned pumpkin, it can certainly be made all year around.

It is a perfect holiday dessert recipe, a nice change from the traditional pumpkin pie.

If you prefer, you can use a regular pie crust. The crust given is perfect for this recipe.

Notes and Variation:

This cheesecake freezes well.
I am not a nutmeg lover so I use 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and eliminate the nutmeg altogether. Season to your own taste.
