Pumpkin Cheesecake II image

This is a very old recipe and it seems like there are a lot of ingredients, but it is worth the effort. I use the extra whipping cream to decorate the top of the cheesecake.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I really enjoyed this cheesecake. The filling was smooth and creamy, and the crust was the perfect complement.

This cheesecake was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I won't be making this again.

I've tried many pumpkin cheesecakes before, but this one is by far the best. The pumpkin flavor is perfectly balanced with the cream cheese, and the crust is out of this world.

This cheesecake is amazing! The crust is the perfect combination of crispy and chewy, and the filling is creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it.

The cheesecake was easy to make and it turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to use a graham cracker crust instead of a cookie crust.

This pumpkin cheesecake was a huge hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The crust was perfectly crisp and buttery, and the filling was smooth, creamy, and full of pumpkin flavor. Everyone raved about it, and I'll definitely be making it again next year.
