pumpkin cheesecake
(1 rating)
This is my Sister Dianne McGee's recipe She used to make it for Christmas and Thanksgiving and the whole family loved it. It was lost for several years due to a fire and I hadn't been able to find it in my family recipes until recently when I came across one of the first keepsake recipe books that was given to me when I first got married years ago. It takes a little bit of work but is well worth the finished dessert.
