Perfectly Simple Pumpkin Cheesecake

Submitted by: USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson 
Pumpkin cheesecake is not technically a pie, but it does have a crust and has become a Thanksgiving classic. And I've simplified its crust, too: Simply lay whole graham crackers in the pan, then spread melted butter and sugar over the crackers, and bake.

Cheesecake lovers will applaud this addition to the Thanksgiving dessert selection. Cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg spice the pumpkin-cream cheese batter baked in a graham cracker crust. Serve topped with whipped cream.

My family requests this dessert each Thanksgiving. For a change of pace, I sometimes use cinnamon graham crackers instead of plain ones. --Melissa Davis, Clermont, Florida

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.

Fresh from the vine comes my merry after-dinner delight! The scrumptious pumpkin filling makes this cheesecake different from most, and the glaze adds a nice touch. It's a big hit among my family and friends.

My mother gave this recipe to me, and I'm glad she gave it to me. I think it's better than regular pumpkin pie, it doesn't have a real strong pumpkin taste. It's great! My boyfriend doesn't like pumpkin pie but he sure likes this! Originally submitted to CakeRecipe.com.
