Pumpkin Spice is everywhere this autumn!! It is in your coffee, your vodka, your ice cream, even Hersheys chocolate has pumpkin spice flavor! So why not put some Pumpkin spice in my cheesecake?
I baked this cheesecake with a water bath. Water baths are often used for cheesecake to prevent cracks and maybe it is just me but I think whenever I use a water bath it makes the cheesecake a lot more moist than whenever I do not use it. This is how you make a water bath; secure your cake mold with tin foil (it is important that no water can get in the mold!) Once you have wrapped tin foil around your cake mold and filled it with the batter(scroll down for the recipe) , it's time to put hot water on the plate.
