A wonderful alternative to pumpkin pie. It tastes like the lightest pumpkin pie ever!!! I found the recipe in the Houston Chronicle. I'm not much on pumpkin pie but this is the best!

This cheesecake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a springform pan and it came out perfectly. The pumpkin mousse was a little runny, but it set up nicely in the refrigerator.

I made this cheesecake for a party and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the graham cracker crust. It was the perfect complement to the pumpkin mousse and cheesecake layers.

This cheesecake was absolutely delicious! The pumpkin mousse was light and fluffy, and the cheesecake layer was creamy and rich. The combination of the two was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the pumpkin mousse. Other than that, it was a very good cheesecake.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I loved this cheesecake! The pumpkin flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The cheesecake layer was also very good. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
