Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will give your cheesecake a richer flavor than canned puree. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until soft, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can make the cheesecake tough.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it set properly.
