One of my friends gave me this recipe, and it quickly became a family favorite. I especially love making this dessert for Thanksgiving. But be forewarned-you can't eat just one slice! -Susan Garoutte, Georgetown, Texas

This cheesecake was delicious! It was the perfect fall dessert. The pumpkin and walnut flavors were perfectly balanced. I will definitely be making this again.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still very good. The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and smooth. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less sugar next time.

This cheesecake was not good at all. The crust was soggy and the filling was grainy. The pumpkin flavor was also very artificial.

This cheesecake was just okay. The crust was a bit too dry and the filling was not as creamy as I would have liked. The pumpkin flavor was also not very strong.
