Pumpkin season is definitely here. I have to admit that I don’t eat pumpkin pie. In fact, up until a few years ago I wasn’t much of a pumpkin fan but it is one of those flavors I have grown into in my old age. I now enjoy a lot of different pumpkin dishes but pumpkin pie just isn’t one of them unless it has been blended up in a milkshake! My favorite way to eat pumpkin pie is in the form of pumpkin pie ice cream. So I guess you could say I like pumpkin pie as long as there is ice cream involved.
Today I’ve got a yummy pumpkin cheesecake for you with a walnut streusel topping. If you aren’t a pie fan but still love pumpkin this pumpkin walnut cheesecake may be the perfect solution for your Thanksgiving menu. Even if you are a pie fan it is fun to change things up once in a while. Enjoy cheesecake instead of a pie. Live dangerously!!
For me I think it comes down to texture. I enjoy the flavor of pumpkin but just prefer the texture of the cheesecake over the pie.
I love the little extra sweetness the walnut streusel topping gives the cheesecake along with the added crunch.
