Footnotes
- Kraft Kitchens Tips
- Variation Using Fresh Pumpkin: To prepare cheesecake with fresh pumpkin, substitute 1 cup mashed cooked fresh pumpkin for the 1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin. Prepare crust and batter as directed, adding 3 Tbsp. flour with the cream cheese and 1 container (8 oz.) BREAKSTONE'S OR KNUDSEN Sour Cream with the pumpkin. Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour and 15 min. or until center is almost set. Continue as directed.
- How to Test Cheesecake Doneness: To avoid overbaking a cheesecake, check for doneness at the minimum baking time by gently shaking the pan. If the cheesecake is done, the edge should be slightly puffed and it will be set except for a small area in the center that will be soft and jiggly. Do not insert a knife into the center as this may cause the cheesecake to crack during cooling.
- How to Soften Cream Cheese: Place completely unwrapped package of cream cheese in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 10 sec. or just until softened. Add 15 sec. for each additional package of cream cheese.

The only reason this is getting 4, not 5 five stars is because I had to make an alteration. I did not have gingersnaps so I used nilla wafers. I added 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice to the crumbs too. ...

Great flavor; although it makes a lot more than filling for one cheesecake. I had enough to make two...I think my pie dish may have been a little shallow; so I made a second one. I added extra...

Delish! I followed the recipe exactly as directed, except I used two pre-made graham cracker pie shells! One pie to serve and the other I gave as a gift! Thanks!

I made this last Thanksgiving. I was so good and everyone was impressed that it was home made. I will make again this thanksgiving.

Made for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. I did exchange the regular ginger snaps for gluten free ginger snaps. Next time will add a bit more pumpkin pie spice. All in all, it was excellent!
