My pumpkin cheesecake recipe gets rave reviews ever since I posted it years ago. It's failproof (no cracking!), as easy as mixing ingredients together, and has just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. This pumpkin cheesecake is delicious by itself, but is over-the-top impressive when you add some of my easy butterscotch sauce or caramel and rum-infused whipped cream. This is the perfect holiday dessert.
