Pumpkin Cheesecake
There are some of us that are not fans of pumpkin pie. I’m one of those, but I’m all for Pumpkin Cheesecake.
Start with a spiced graham cracker crust. Add creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling that has just the right amount of pumpkin flavour and bake You end up with something that tastes like pumpkin pie’s big sister. It bakes up perfectly with the creamiest texture and fragrant cookie crumb base. All you need is to top it off with a maple pecan glaze.

- Cream cheese
