great cheesecake

very moist and just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. I've made several pumpkin cheesecakes, and this one is a winner. I've been asked for the recipe many times. I didn't use the ice cream topping, as that seemed to be a little too sweet

The Best Pumpkin Cheesecake!

This is a very good pumpkin cheesecake. I have made others but this is the one I make from now on. My son even requested it for his birthday.
