yes, that's right. two of the best things not combined but stacked on top of each other. this is not pumpkin cheesecake...this is cheesecake with pumpkin pie on top of it. the original recipe can be found here at our best bites. i tweaked it a little bit with the pumpkin pie because libby pumpkin pie is so good. i followed their instructions for the whipping cream instead of evaporated milk and 3 eggs instead of two since i'm no chemist and have no idea how that might affect things since this cheesecake bakes about an hour longer than a libby pumpkin pie. since eating on it over thanksgiving, i've decided that if i were to bake it again i would change the cheesecake to pumpkin pie ration from 1:1 to 1.5:.5....making it a lot more of a cheesecake. the pumpkin overpowered the cheesecake. i think i would also try it with marscapone cheese because it's stronger and just so dad gum good.
