I make this again and again and even get requests to make it. A family favorite and a crowd pleaser. FANTASTIC!!

An older lady from our church brought this to a potluck the month that it was issued in 2000. Since then it has been a staple to every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has almost entirely replaced pumpkin pie, and has completely done away with the idea of pumpkin cheesecake. We cannot live without it.

Delicious, delicious, delicious!! Had it for the first time two weeks ago at my nephews house. Had to make it when I got home for one of my company suppers. Everyone raved about it. Definitely will make it again.

This was a huge disappointment. The texture was very weird and bland tasting! It should have had pumpkin spice added to it for flavor. Even my husband who eats anything I make didn't like it.:(

Love this dessert! I have been making it for a couple of years now, and it is a favorite with everyone.

I found this recipe years ago and have made it many times each fall and winter. Everytime I have taken it somewhere I have been asked for the recipe or they will request that I bring the pumpkin dessert. It is a favorite of our family and extended family. We raise pumpkins and so I collect pumpkin recipes to use as well as to give out to our customers as well.
