Pumpkin cheese cake

Low fat Pumpkin cheesecake

My husband loves pumpkin pie. I am not too found of pies. So I decided to make pumpkin cheese cake last weekend. You can't go wrong with pumpkin cheese cake. I know to eat pumpkin by itself is not so exiciting. But to make pumpkin cheesecake is a good idea. It came out good. It got some cracks on the top. But no worries. What you can do is take some water in pan, and have the cake pan in the water half immersed to let the cheese cake from cracking. But it came out so good and tasty. there was no leftovers. What I did was, had some cheese cake cut into small pieces and inserted in a popsicle sticks and froze it, so we can eat as an wehn needed. But it is all gone now.
