Pumpkin and Vanilla Layered Cheesecake

January 1, 2012 0 comments

The holidays just aren’t the same without stuffing yourself with decadent desserts. This pumpkin layered cheesecake is thick, rich and creamy. I was nicely surprised to see just how thick a cheesecake this recipe made. It came to just below the top rim of my springform pan.

As you can see, I’m still pumpkin crazy here! This time around I made some moist pumpkin muffin tops with chocolate chips added in. I can’t believe Halloween is just around the corner. Where is this year going so fast?! This weekend I’ve gotta spend some time preparing for Trick or Treat night…not that I know when it is or anything. Our neighborhood is so screwy when it comes to Trick or Treat. We don’t [...]
