Homemade Pumpkin Cheesecake

My oldest son’s girlfriend loves pumpkin pie and loves cheesecake. It was her birthday earlier this week. He wanted to make her a pumpkin pie.  I wanted to try something different – pumpkin cheesecake. I found a recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake on the Kraft site. I made a couple of minor changes – I used different spices and I didn’t use nuts or cloves. It’s really good. Check it out. Here’s how I make homemade pumpkin cheesecake.
