Recipe by Spinach1948: Pumpkin Cheesecake Diabetic Friendly/saved
Good flavor. Tastes like pumpkin pie. There's not that real creamy cheesy flavor that is synonymous with cheesecake. It is creamy but tastes like pumpkin pie.
Used an 8" springform pan (don't know where my 9-incher got off to). Cake was done in the minimum time spec'ed. There wasn't that little wiggle in the center that cheesecakes are supposed to have. The whole cake jiggled. My assumption is it was over-done.
Didn't save any crumbles for the top of the cake so I just shut the oven off and set the door ajar with the cake still in the Bain Marie. Cake top cracked anyhow.
Making this again I'd start checking sooner that the minimum bake time for that little wiggle in the middle.

That looks delicious, Points! I love pumpkin and chessecake, so they have to be good together. I wonder if the cornstarch in the mix contributed to the cracking. I used to use a cheesecake recipe that called for flour and my cheesecakes cracked every single time. So annoying! I don't know enough about baking science to know if it made the batter too dry or what, but the cracking drove me crazy, especially since we like cheesecake plain, with no toppings. There's no hiding cracks when you serve it to company :p Ever since I switched to the below recipe, which uses no flour, my cheesecakes come out perfectly *every* time! Check out the review I posted under my old screen name of bestcooker for more info.

Oh, another thing I've started doing is putting the springform pan on a baking sheet. It not only makes putting the cheesecake in and out of the oven easier, but seems to act as a bit of a buffer for the delicate cheesecake batter so it doesn't overbake.

I've made a pumpkin cheesecake before but it had the creamy and more heaviness of a cheesecake but with a pumpkin flavor. So I'm guessing yours was more light like a pumpkin pie? I think the recipe I used was from Allrecipes. Pics look great though, I'd eat it :P
