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.

Pumpkin is an extremely healthy vegetable, so it’s always nice to see a pumpkin recipe.

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.

Although I think the crust given is perfect for this recipe, you can use a regular pie crust if you prefer.
