I said it. <i>Pumpkin cheesecake<\/i>. The. Way. To. Go. for Thanksgiving dessert.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m all for keeping things simple and easy or giving yourself one less thing to worry about during the holidays. Every year I bring home a frozen apple pie from our annual fall excursion up to <a href=\"http:\/\/momservations.wordpress.com\/2013\/11\/05\/your-guide-to-apple-hill-yum\/\">Apple Hill<\/a> to pass off as my own. I also order a lemon meringue from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariecallenders.com\/famous-pies\">Marie Callender\u2019s <\/a>and would try to pass it off as my own, but I\u2019m fooling no one that meringue is in my wheel house of culinary skills.<\/p>\n<p>The point being, that if it makes your holidays less stressful to just order a pie for Thanksgiving, grab a fork and go for it. Pumpkin, apple, store bought or homemade\u2014it\u2019s all good.<\/p>\n<p>But if you enjoy baking (way more fun than cooking a turkey I think) have I got the winning recipe for you for a delicious way to end your Thanksgiving meal! (Plus, you won\u2019t have to worry about a last minute store run because you forgot the ice cream or whip cream for the pies.)<\/p>\n<p>This pumpkin cheesecake recipe from Nestl\u00e9 I consider pretty easy, it looks great when it\u2019s done, and it tastes heavenly. Your pumpkin pie purists will even love it, because of the great pumpkin flavor.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pumpkin Cheesecake\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/198.23.108.118\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/cheesecake.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-12388\" alt=\"Cheesecake\" src=\"http:\/\/198.23.108.118\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/cheesecake.jpg?w=225\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Ingredients:\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Crust:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1 \u00bd cups graham-cracker crumbs<\/p>\n<p>1\/3 cup butter<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup granulated sugar<\/p>\n<p><b>Cheesecake<\/b><\/p>\n<p>3 packages 8oz cream cheese, softened<\/p>\n<p>1 cup granulated sugar<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup packed light brown sugar<\/p>\n<p>2 large eggs<\/p>\n<p>1 15oz can pumpkin pur\u00e9e<\/p>\n<p>2\/3 cup evaporated milk<\/p>\n<p>2 tbsp cornstarch<\/p>\n<p>1 \u00bc tsp ground cinnamon<\/p>\n<p>\u00bd tsp ground nutmeg<\/p>\n<p><b>Topping<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1 16oz sour cream at room temperature<\/p>\n<p>1\/3 cup granulated sugar<\/p>\n<p>1 tsp vanilla extract<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Instructions<\/span><\/b><b>:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<\/p>\n<p><b>Crust: <\/b>Combine graham-cracker crumbs, butter and sugar in medium bowl.
