DOUBLE LAYER PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
This is one of those desserts that looks like it was really hard but actually is super easy. This has a layer of cheesecake and then a layer of pumpkin cheesecake all made from the same batter. I thought it was to die for and so easy that every time I make it I think, “That’s all..I’m done?” Yup. That easy.
Make it the day before Thanksgiving. It tastes good the day it’s cooked and even better the next day.

Don’t worry if there are a couple of cracks; when you refrigerate it they will close up. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Garnish with whipped cream before serving.
