PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE

Pumpkin Cheesecake

This is the best ever, Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe! 

I wish I could boast and tell you that I'm a fabulous baker but alas, I'm not!  I've always been challenged when it comes to baking.  I think it's my need to add a pinch of this and a pinch of that to my recipes, that throws me off course. Being forced to measure ingredients is my undoing every time!  Luckily, this style of cooking has worked well for me in the kitchen, developing new recipes, making soups, stews, appetizers and main dishes.  

Now that I'm food blogging I've tried to change my ways and follow the directions!!  Thanks to the Food Network and Paula Deen, this recipe has lifted my spirits and given my inner baker a voice.....yeah! Finally, I accomplished making a cheesecake that didn't look or taste like the funky tan blankets on the beds at motel 6!

Pumpkin Cheesecake

This recipe is so creamy and moist and the pumpkin flavor isn't over powering.  Just the right blend of ingredients, to make even the most novice baker look like a star!

    That cheesecake looks scrumptious! I have lots of pumpkins and I just need to process them. This looks like something I'd like to make with some of it when I get it all done!
