My family didn't care for the crust and felt the spice combination wasn't their liking.

Absolutely love this cheesecake! Didn't have a springform pan so ended up making 2 nine-inch pie pan sized cheesecakes but is fantastic. Love the flavor and it was a hit with all at our house for Thanksgiving. I'm adding it to my box of favorite recipes to be made again, also thinking it will become a new Thanksgiving tradition. Thanks for sharing!

Do you bake the crust first? Because when I made it I didn't bake the crust and I just put everything together. It was super good!! I give this a 5 star :)

I have to bake it for about 90 minutes, maybe bit more, but after that it turns out amazing. Making it tonight for the second time in a week!

I made this for a special celebration dinner. It was awesome-and easy to make. Best of all-no cracks!!!! I even made the pecan brittle to decorate it with the whipped cream. Lots of compliments and lots of requests for the recipe. (The pecan brittle I had to hide from my husband so there was some for the cheesecake.) Thanks for a great recipe.
