Who doesn't love the arousing combination of pumpkin pie and cheesecake?

HellooOO000?  "The Great Pumpkin" Cheesecake is filled with lovely aromatic pumpkin pie spices and the rich, velvety cheesecake is to die for!!!  And don't forget that buttery graham cracker crust. *major drools*

 That vibrant pumpkin color is stunning!

"The Great Pumpkin" Cheesecake

I named this cheesecake, "The Great Pumpkin" Cheesecake, because I am obsessed with the "PEANUTS".  Snoopy is my all-time favorite because he's super cool, but I do love the whole gang!  Watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" was definitely a favorite Thanksgiving holiday tradition!

"The Great Pumpkin" Cheesecake

The inspiration -- The Peanuts gang celebrates Halloween, with Linus hoping that, finally, he will be visited by The Great Pumpkin and Charlie Brown gets invited to a Halloween party, getting rocks for his 'trick or treating'.

So much drama!  (I love it! ha!)

"The Great Pumpkin" Cheesecake

Linus has a lot of famous lines in this movie but my favorite is, "He'll come here because I have the most sincere pumpkin patch and he respects sincerity."  

But, I think Linus might even give up waiting up for The Great Pumpkin after a taste of this "The Great Pumpkin" Cheesecake!

It tastes BETTER then words can describe and it's just right for autumn entertaining.

    This is made in a 9" pie pan, so I'm not sure what your trying to do and what size your pans are you would be using?

    Hi Stacy, I've never tried it, but as long as it is the right size that the recipe calls for go ahead!

    Can u use a premade graham cracker crust

  8. ChocolaTess says

    Hi Kayla, the only thing I can think of is line a baking pan with heavy duty foil and make sure the foil hangs over the pan, so you can lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Or you could just leave it in your baking pan, but your pan needs to have higher sides than a normal round baking pan or make use a larger pan for a shallower cheesecake. Or you could try the internet and see if there is another alternate solution. Hope that helps you out some and good luck!

    Amazon has them and lots of times you can receive them in 2 days. Walmart and Target have them too.

    Do you have an alternative to a springform pan?

    I didn't, but you could if you wanted to.
    thanks!

    Hi Rosie. I think you could use a pie crust, thawed out, but I haven't tried it with this recipe, so if it works out, let us know! Happy Thanksgiving!
