Third Time's a Charm....

They say that the third time is the charm.  This is my third attempt at making a full size cheesecake.  The previous attempts all tasted great, but failed miserably at setting up.  I did use a different recipe this time, so I'm hoping that will make a difference.

My dear friend Amy made this recipe earlier this year because she wanted to try a to make a cheesecake and she is a lover of all things pumpkin.  If you want to see the recipe and her results, check out her blog.  It's a pumpkin cheesecake with a gingersnap crust.  Can we say yummy?!?

It's a very simple recipe.  The crust has gingersnaps and pecans.  Super tasty!

The filling was simple and easy to make.  The big difference between this recipe and the other one that I've used is that this recipe has the cheesecake sit in a water bath.  It seemed to make a huge difference.  The cheesecake set up nicely.

The new recipe seems to have made a difference because it set up very nicely.  It didn't taste like the one that Amy made earlier this year, but it was still yummy and a big hit.

Stay tuned for more yummy cooking experiences.  Happy fall and happy cooking!!
