Thanks JessiFox. Your easy and my easy might not be the same thing. Anyway I intend to try at least one of these in the not too distant further. I am in retail so it's hopefully going to be getting busy very soon. I am praying I can get to post a picture of something here that I produced from scratch.

EAWynter preparing a cheesecake from scratch??? This is going to be epic.

 

[JessiFox]

Of course Wintery, haha well I suppose everyone's easy is at a slightly different level, but you'll get there. Just like anything else, the more you flex those baking muscles the easier it will become. That's awesome, I hope you try it soon and make yourself proud . I'm so sorry about you having to work in retail this time of year though, that doesn't sound nearly as epic .

Yeah! The retail is such a trip right now. I had to be up early this morning to try a Black Friday Sale which isn't quite working for me. I guess the mall is trying to boost sale by incorporating some of the North American customs and holidays.

I am into clothing and accessories but the only ones who seem to be doing well are the appliance stores. I could be home baking.

Anyway, there is a holiday on Monday so I am planning to try something from scratch then. Flex those "baking muscles".

I love the combination of a ginger snap crust whith a pumpkin cheese cake.

This would be a great recipe to bake in cupcake liners and pans to give everyone their own little cheese cake.

I bet this would be good with some spiced whipped cream on top.

Sounds good and from your picture you seem to like whip cream. I have never seen a cupcake like cheese cake. Sounds fun and a real treat.

I do have a weakness for any recipe that has pumpkin incorporated however i am not a fan of cheesecake so i honestly don't think this recipe is one that i would enjoy.

Very nice! Sounds quite easy to make! I would love to try it next thanksgiving. Or maybe a bit earlier, to celebrate my favourite season: autumn.

This sounds very similar to a pumpkin praline cheesecake I made for Thanksgiving last year. I wanted something different, and I'm glad I decided to go for it. I think the only main differences were making the praline pecans to put on top and adding some caramel sauce on top. It was really good. Thanks for the recipe.
