    pumpkin cheesecake

    Anybody have a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake? I've purchased one from the store in the past.

    I thought I could modify the Low Carb Cheesecake found on the Desserts forum. It calls for 4 packs of cream cheese. What if I substituted 8oz of pumpkin for one of the packs? But the pumpkin has a higher water content. And would just 8 oz of pumpkin give it a real pumpkin taste?

    Also, could the vanilla extract be substituted by almond extract?

    Any ideas or recipes?

    I'm dying to try this but I don't know who will help me eat it all!

    1 cup heavy cream
    2 beaten eggs
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg (optional)
    ½ tsp. salt

    6 mini pie tins (supermarkets, dollar stores)

    Smooth ingredients together in mixing bowl, incorporating eggs last. Transfer to 6
    Pam-sprayed mini pie shells. 400° for 15 minutes; then 350° for approximately 35 additional

      Whoa, wow, wait, no, go ahead, that looks fab-u-loso!

      Question, I've never seen mini pie pans. Do you think a muffin tin would work? I have a large-muffin muffin tin, it only has 6 muffin compartments on a regular sized sheet... but they may be deeper than a mini pie pan...

      Baking has never been my thing, so I'm not up on all the particulars. But I know for sure I gotta get some snacky wackys going to substitute for cookies that I used to treat me with.

      Plus I'm going to another pot luck in about 2 weeks. Wouldn't these individual cheesecakes be a hit?

      Oh yeah and another question, I assume I would the refrigerate after they cooled off?

          Hit or miss I am going to make these this weekend myself using muffin tins since I don't have mini pie plates either.
