Martin Sheen’s Favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake,Ran across this recipe just before Thanksgiving. WOW! It will now be on my desert table every year. (I may take it to a pot luck or two as well). Fantastically delicious and easy to make. Recipe is originally from Martin Sheen’s daughter (Rene Estevez), who used to be a pastry chef.,Gotta agree with my fellow foodies…TOP NOTCH cheesecake recipe! The texture is something akin to chiffon (could it be that I beat the eggs and whipping cream a bit too long? If I did, I hope I make the same mistake again!) and the ONLY deviation I made was an equal measure of pumpkin pie spice instead of the individual spices…plan on trying out a few alternatives like a banaba cheesecake using this as my base!,This is my official “go-to” pumpkin cheesecake recipe from now on. It puffed up beautifully, and the texture was divine. I altered the spices, since I don’t care for ginger, allspice, or cloves, and threw in an extra egg since the batter seemed a bit soupy compared to other cheesecake recipes. It took about 1 hour 45 minutes at 325, but there’s not a crack in sight!
