• My Note: To make a few changes to make this recipe more of a creamy cheesecake that most people are used to. I used 3 8oz packages of cream cheese instead of 2, added 1/2 cup of sour cream (Fold the sour cream in after adding the eggs), and increased the pumpkin puree to 1 8oz can. I also had to adjust the spices a bit for my taste (added 1 tbls of spiced rum to the pumpkin mixture and a bit more nutmeg and cinnamon). I baked this in a water bath at 350 for 1 hr (till the middle jiggles like jello), then turn off the oven, prop the door open and let the cheesecake sit for another hour, I promise you it will not crack at all. I used a 10in springform pan and a shortbread cookie crust. I used one of the caramel sauce recipes from this web site and poured it over the cheesecake to give it a caramel glaze like the one at the restaurant had. It was fabulous! I took it to work, went to answer the phone, came back 10 minutes later and the whole cheesecake was gone! I couldn't believe it! Now I have to make another one.
• UPDATE 02: We always like to find shortcuts in the kitchen and these are the few alterations I've made to this recipe. First, instead of using the pumpkin puree and all the spices -- We simply used a can of pumpkin pie filling -- Libby's or the cheap store brand (which we used). 3/4 cup. Make sure your cream cheese is room tempture. It blends better. We used 1/2 cup + 2 tbs sugar. 1 tsp vanilla. And also 1/2 tsp cinnamon. We carefully layered 1 1/2 cup of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of the crust. Then added the pumpkin mixture on top carefully. Make sure your crust is not cracked or out dated when you get it from the store. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 50-55 mins or until center of pie is set (center will spring back when touched).

Steps:

• Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar for crust. Press onto the bottom and a little bit up the sides of a 9-inch square baking pan. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract for filling in a mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Remove 1 cup of batter and spread it onto bottom of the graham cracker crust.
• Add pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to remaining cream cheese mixture and stir gently until well blended. Carefully spread the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese mixture you already placed on the crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, 20 to 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until firm, about 3 hours. Cut into 16 squares and top with whipped topping.
