ORIGINAL PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE DELUXE. Place pecans in a food processor; cover and process until ground. Pumpkin cheesecake is not technically a pie, but it does have a crust and has become a Thanksgiving classic. And I've simplified its crust, too: Simply lay whole graham crackers in the pan, then spread melted butter and sugar over the crackers, and bake.
Added temp/time for baking sorry everyone.

Both cheesecakes and pumpkin pies are creamy, velvety and luscious but when they are both combined, the flavor combination is AMAZING. Remove the outer ring and set the cheesecake on a serving dish. Spread the whipped cream over the top. Crushed gingersnap cookie crumbs form the base for this lusciously elegant dessert with pumpkin and cream cheese filling layers with a light swirl on the top. Holiday richness explodes so, please, cut the pieces smaller than regular pumpkin pie!!
