Here's a little creation of mine.
Pumpkin Cheese Cake.........
Crust....1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/4# butter, a splash vanilla, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 cup sugar. Mix soft butter w/ vanilla and fold in spice + crumbs well. Press firmly into spring form pan and set aside.
Fillings........
1) 2 -8 oz cream cheese, 1 TBSP lemon juice, 3 eggs, 1 cn (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 1 tsp vanilla, mix with electric beater and set aside.
2) 16oz proceesed plain pumpkin meat, 1 tsp gr. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp gr. clove, 1/4 tsp gr. ginger, 2 eggs, mix well w/ beater.
Now slowly fold step #2 into step #1 (DO NOT MIX) use the handle of a wooden spoon and do a figure 8 motion. Should look striped. Pour into pan trying to keep the stripes. Bake at 350 for 35 /40 min or untill thooth pic test is clean.
Topping.....
1 cup sour cream, 1 tsp vanilla,3 TBSP sugar, mix well.

While cake is warm (not hot) spread topping on and chill. Serve cold
This does take time but in the end, you'll get alota this :yes:!

This recipe for Gypsy Soup works just dandy with pumpkin instead of sweet potato.

Try making Pumpkin Crisp...there's any number of recipes on the net, but I tried some last Thanksgiving and it was really good.
