I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I really enjoyed this cheesecake. The pecan topping was the perfect addition.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake to set properly. I'm not sure if I overbaked it or if I didn't let it cool long enough before refrigerating it.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This cheesecake was pretty good. The crust was a little dry, but the filling was creamy and flavorful. I might try a different crust recipe next time.
