Good - I added an additional 1 t of pumpkin spice to the mix and followed the others advise for the swapping of step 1 and 2. Overall I would say it tasted more like pumpkin pie than pumpkin cheesecake however, that didn't stop everyone from eating it all up.

I read all the reviews before making this and it turned out to be the best cheesecake ever! Made the batter first, adding 1tsp of nutmeg, and 1tsp of cinnamon for more flavor and then put the batter in the fridge while the crust baked. This helped with the marbling. Also, I only used 1/2C of white batter instead of a full cup. That seemed to be too much to get a pretty marbling. Made for my mom's birthday and everyone raved and said I should bring this instead of pumpkin pie to Thanksgiving this year!

Amazing! I was nervous about baking this especially because my husband had high expectations, but it turned out great. I took it out when the middle was still a little jelloy. I also had a pan of water in the oven with the cheesecake and it didn't crack at all. I thought it was better after it had been totally cooled. I'll be making this again.

This was the first cheesecake I ever made. I followed the recipe and it turned out great. The marbleling is so easy and looks so professional. The secret is in the crust, I used my blender to crunch up all the cookies and nuts.

Delicious! I swapped out 1/4 c. of the white sugar with brown and only used 2 eggs. It was so tasty and very attractive. Perfect alternative to traditional pumpkin pie on my Thanksgiving table.

Excellent cheesecake!! I doubled the crust (ran out of gingersnaps but filled the remaining amount needed with graham crackers - tasted great!), and did 1 + 1/2 the filling. It made for a really thick cheesecake. With the extra filling I had to cook it about 20-25 min. longer. Cooked the entire time in a water bath approximately 1/3 up the side of my 9" pan. It was a huge hit with my dinner guests, including my sister who can't stand cheesecake. SOOOOOO delicious! The crust was THE BEST!!

This recipe is wonderful. I recieved so many compliments, it will become a regular. I put brown sugar in the food processor with the pecans and gingersnaps to make the crust then added melted butter...it was heavenly :) I also made it in a smaller size cheesecake pan and it was the perfect size and thickness. I did nothing different with baking instructions except leaving in the oven with the temp off and the oven door cracked for about 15 minutes after baking was completed and it didn't crack at all. Thanks for this recipe.

I was all excited about this one - pumpkin and cheesecake, yum. But I was not thrilled with it. My husband was not impressed, either, but he's partial to the NY Cheesecake recipe from AllRecipes I got years ago. I don't know, perhaps I'll try it again. Maybe I'll try merging the NY recipe with the pumpkin.

This turned out really tasty -- was a hit at Thanksgiving. Cheesecake is so good for events like that because it slivers so nicely into smaller slices (unlike cherry pie, which turns into a mess). Everyone was able to try a bit that way. I doubled the crust recipe, which helped, but I didn't do a very good job of making a sharp corner at the edges of the pan, so the crust was too thick at the bend. Next time I might just do 1.5x the crust recipe and pay more attention to making the thickness consistent. It's always a guessing game as to how many ground up cookies will make a crust. I bought a 14oz bag of archway gingersnaps and this was perfect for doubling the recipe to 2 cups. The marbling was pretty cool, but I think a cup of the leftover white batter was a bit too much to preserve an even blending of orange/white. Next time I'd set aside only 3/4 cup of the white for swirling in at the end. Highly recommend this recipe.

I have made this twice so far this holiday season and have heard nothing but effusively glowing reviews. I make some minor alterations; like many other reviewers, I add more spices. I find that a little more than 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp each of cloves, allspice and ginger bring more of a pumpkin pie spice flavor to the pumpkin cheesecake mixture. If you can find a triple-ginger cookie to use for the crust I highly recommend it. My favorite brand has candied ginger chunks in the cookies and it adds a bit more snap to the crust.

This recipe is pretty good but I expected the cheesecake to have a bit more of a pumpkin flavor to it. But it was very good. And the crust is a great addition to the flavor - the gingersnaps are tasty!

Creamy and delicious! I was careful to take mine out after 50 minutes to avoid overbaking. Otherwise, this was made exactly as written. The gingersnap crust is great but next time, I'll toast my pecans before putting them into the crust mixture for a nuttier flavor and more crunch. My family literally argued over who would get the last piece. Even the crumbs were gone.

You really need to double the filling in order to make a whole cheesecake, mine was very thin but tasted good.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Even those that don’t like pumpkin pie liked this cheesecake. One of my co-workers took half a piece just to be polite and after eating it quickly returned for the other half! I forgot to add the last 1/4 cup sugar and it was still great. Everyone wanted the recipe!

One word: FABULOUS! This was my first cheesecake ever and it turned out perfectly. I really did my research before I started and it paid off. The changes I made: added 1/2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice, doubled the crust using half ginger bread snaps and half graham cracker crumbs, and preparing the batter before the crust and allowing it to chill in the fridge before swirling. Also, I put it in a water bath while baking and after 40 minutes at 350, I shut off the oven and let the cheesecake rest for the last 15 minutes. No cracks at all! Everyone at Thanksgiving said it was too pretty to cut, but tasted just as good as it looked.
