We tried the pumpkin cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory and compared it to this recipe and the results... 6 out of 6 reviewers said this recipe was as good as or better than the Cheesecake Factory!!!!! Very shocking, I must say! They actually tasted really similar and the texture of ours was just as great!
Another shock-O actually tried this baked item (as in he had one tsp full....) he said "I love it, it is the spirit of Halloween on a plate" So, take that how you will. And his review is in addition to the 6 above :)
I myself LOVE cheesecake. This was a little too reminiscent of pumpkin pie for me (which I really don't care for) but it was still pretty decent. I think a plain cheesecake would have been even better.
When I removed this from the oven I thought it was a total flop, the top looked strange and the whole thing looked a little wobbly. However, the hours and hours and hours it required to sit were apparently important-it came together just fine in the end. I really liked the crust-I used all the spices and it was great. I also loved that the recipe was super easy-it took forever to cook, then sit on the counter, then sit in the fridge, but it was actually a simple recipe and only had a few ingredients which was nice.
My mom loved this so much she wanted to freeze it and take it to Thanksgiving, however, we ate it too fast for that, I guess I'll have to make it again!
TOTAL SUCCESS! You'll want to try this one for sure!
see Amanda's blog for the recipe: http://www.girlplusfood.net/
and ps: Amanda said it was even better the next day-I did not try mine until day 2 but maybe it needs time to sit.

I love that you compared! Last night Clare ate some and said, "You should sell this recipe to the Cheesecake Factory." Haha, it's not mine. I am glad you guys liked this one and that O tried it. That's exciting by itself right? Thanks for baking this week!
