Assembly Directions:
To make the crust, cut the butter into the flour and sugar with a pastry cutter. Mix in the chopped nuts. Pat the crust into a spring form pan. Bake 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees.
To make the filling, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and flour until blended. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until firm in the center. Cool completely before chilling in the refrigerator.
Freezing Directions:
Cover the chilled cheesecake with a layer of plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Freeze.
Serving Directions:
Thaw the cheesecake. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
Comments:
For those of us who have never been fond of pumpkin pie, this cheesecake is a nice addition to the holiday menu.
