Dessert & Baked Goods » Pumpkin Cheesecake
We've never met a cheesecake we didn't like. But pumpkin and its accompanying spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger make a phenomenal filling. For best results, allow the cheesecake to sit overnight in the refrigerator. Of course, we're not going to stop you from digging in as soon as it cools from the oven.
