                                                               Pumpkin Cheesecake

 

  2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

  3/4 cup white sugar

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin pure
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt
 2 prepared 8 inch pastry shells (I use graham cracker crust its lots better!)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Beat together the cream cheese and the sugar, add the pumpkin and the spices. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add salt. Beat until creamy. Pour the batter evenly into the two crusts.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 50 minutes or until the knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool then top with whipped topping, if desired. I always double it so I can make 4 because everyone always asks for more!!!                                                                     

   I usually only make this on Thanksgiving it's one of those foods you look forward to eating all year long! Let me know how yours turned out!
