I didn't care for this. Like other reviewers mentioned it does not have the consistency or taste of cheesecake. It tasted okay but I won't make it again sorry. Read More

I think this is misnamed; it should be something like "creamy pumpkin pie with pecans" because it doesn't really look or taste like cheesecake rather it's more pumpkin pie like in taste looks and consistency. It doesn't taste bad at all but when you are expecting a cheesecake and that's not what it is it's a little off-putting and so I couldn't appreciate the taste fully. That's why I gave it a four star rating. I bought my pumpkin butter at Trader Joe's. Read More

I agree that perhaps the recipe is misnamed "cheesecake" but it was amazing. Everyone who had it loved it and wanted the recipe. personal preferences that worked: I used 3/4 cup pecan halves (instead of 1/2 cup chopped pecans this made it prettier but possibly harder to cut) and added a couple of tablespoons of pure maple syrup for the topping. I also used a low-fat crust and low-fat cream cheese. Read More

This is definitely more of a creamy pumpkin pie than a cheesecake but wow! Followed directions exactly (except used pecan halves instead of chopped) and all I can say is that it takes pumpkin pie to a whole new level and was AMAZING. The texture was creamier and the flavor was rich (I think due to the pumpkin butter) but not too rich to where you can only eat one or two bites. Read More
