Pumpkin Cheesecake I

          

I’m glad my mother gave me this recipe. I think it’s better than regular pumpkin pie, because it doesn’t have a really strong pumpkin taste.

Original recipe makes 2 – 8 inch pie pans

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
3/4 cup white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 prepared 8 inch pastry shells
