countdown to halloween: cheesecake dreams

My Halloween is not truly complete until I have baked (and eaten) at least one pumpkin cheesecake. My cheesecake thoughts turn to pumpkin early in October. When pumpkin-based delicacies start appearing in cafes and bake shops.






And before the month draws to a close, I have made my own. With the promise of more than just one slice. On the contrary, as a cheesecake lover surrounded by people largely indifferent to cheesecake, I can count on an excess of decadence.  Pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. Pumpkin cheesecake for breakfast. Pumpkin cheesecake for snacks . . .

But then it appeared that someone else has taken an interest in my pumpkin cheesecake.





His interest was short-lived. When I offered him a taste, he just sniffed it and walked away.  I tried not to take it personally.

Just bought a pumpkin cheese pie from a local bakery yesterday to cheer ourselves up over the terrible weather! It's pumpkin pie filling over vanilla cheesecake in a shortening pie crust. Yum!

Oh yummy! I used to make a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cheesecake with Chocolate Graham Cracker crust and it was SO good! Haven't made it in years though because the top always cracked and the middle never seemed to cook enough. But man could I go for that now! There must be some secret to getting the middle to cook, but I obviously do not know it! Bon Appetite! :o)

Aww! Your cat is so coordinated with the pumpkin and cheesecake. :) I don't think I've ever had any pumpkin cheesecake, but it sounds so good!
