I’ve never had pumpkin spice anything! This sounds delicious

My aversion to most pumpkin spice things is the hint of clove, which reminds me too much of smoking emo clove cigarettes in college. But this avoids that problem entirely. Thanksgiving dessert all wrapped up. Thank you!

I was short 3 sheets of graham crackers so I subbed a few Biscoff cookies. I haven't made the cheesecake yet but wow does that crust smell delicious!

This was delicious and much easier than the normal water bath set up. I will definitely make this again! Would love to hear your ideas for other flavors. I think it would simple enough to replace the squash with other puréed fruit.

Grab that joy, grab it grab it grab it! I imagine your sleep schedule is all over the place? So please let yourself have those lattes at weird times too.

I live in a city so I have a stand mixer and a breville blender, but no food processor. Is it worth buying a food processor to make this, or do you think I could get by using the stand mixer after I mash the squash?

No need at all. You can crush the crackers in a zip top bag for the crust. Then purée the squash in the blender, and make the filling either by hand or with a mixer. I just used a food processor so I can make the crust and filling with one tool.

Thanks Sohla! I have your book (#forTom) and we can’t wait until you arrive in Cambridge. That said, try to enjoy getting to know your family.

One of my favorite things about fall is baby pictures involving pumpkins or at pumpkins patches.
