    You should change it to FAMOUS......I just made my 6th cheesecake a couple weeks ago, STILL THE BEST! I made it for the first time a couple years ago, it's now our standard instead of Pumpkin pie and everyone who tries it has to have the recipe. I would try putting the pan of water on the rack below and see if it make a difference in the texture of the crust, mine usually soaks in a little water and turns a little harder, although most love it that way. How many days til Thanksgiving & Christmas, and Easter too! : Thanks so much!!

    This is a recipe I will make for the rest of my life!! My guests ask for it repeatedly. If you love a good rich dense cheesecake and pumpkin, you will want to give this one a try!

    This recipe was amazing. It impressed my entire family and I have already had the request to make it a holiday tradition. The only thing I did different was use gingerbread graham crackers for the crust, it added that extra special something that had everyone raving!

    Wonderful recipe. I made this with a little modification tho. I put chopped pecan in the crust and I used fresh cooked yam in place of canned pumpkin. The family raved and my son has made it this way and taken to another dinner. Again it was loved by all.

    I made this Pumpkin Cheesecake for Thanksgiving. I thought since this cheesecake was so big and there is only my husband and myself, I would have to freeze half, but it was so delicious, we couldn't stop eating this wonderful treat. As sinful as it is to admit that, we thoroughly enjoyed it and finished it by the end of the holiday weekend. This is now our holiday favorite dessert.

    This cheesecake was a great surprise! Very creamy with great pumpkin pie flavor. I've made NY-style cheesecakes for years and this one was just as satisfying. I followed the directions except for 2 things: I used a 9"x13" pyrex dish and doubled the spices. I never use a springform pan and the batter fills the dish all the way to the top. You'll need 3.5 - 4 cups crumbs for this size dish as well. Typical pumpkin pie won't be missed with this recipe! Take a leap of faith as I did and you should be very pleased.

    Perfect cheesecake. I made it with cinnamon gramcrakers and the crust was yummy but agree with some folks I will reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it. I also added 1 tsp of cloves by accident (oops but to my surprise it didn't overpower the dish and added the spice kick I have been looking for. I followed the cooking directions exactly and it didn't crack. Yea! Thanks for a perfect recipie. This will be my new holiday favorite!
