White Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake image

About 20 years ago my husband came home from a company party raving about the pumpkin cheesecake they served. As I am not a pumpkin lover this didn't sound at all appetizing. Shortly afterwards I came across this recipe in a magazine but I don't recall which one. Although I do love cheesecake I did not expect to like this at all....
