Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"Delicious," raves Zuzana Halbgewachs. "I was really happy with this recipe. If you like pumpkin pie and cheesecake you are going to love this pie. Very refreshing and has just the right amount of spices."

"This was excellent," according to mmtammymm. "Light and fluffy. It was hard to let it sit overnight in order to eat it. Just make sure you let the center cook long enough or it gets a little liquidy. Great mousse-like cheesecake!"

"Very popular Thanksgiving dessert with my family!" raves another Allrecipes member. "We have this every year. Smooth and tasty! Easy to make. We always make it the night before. Delicious!"
