Turtle Pumpkin Cheesecake

For all of you who asked me to post the recipe, here it is
in all it's quick and easy glory!?!
Wait! What?
YES!
You heard me right, I said "quick and easy glory!"

One of my favorite times of the year is when Fall starts.
Fall kicks off the cooler weather and the holiday season
for me and my family!
First comes Halloween, then Thanksgiving and Christmas!
What better way to enjoy the nice weather that fall brings or to kick
off the holiday season then a nice big slice of pie.
My Turtle Pumpkin Cheesecake is perfect for any time of the day.
Early in the morning, after you have taken the kids to school,
served with a cup of coffee or late night snuggled up with
your hubby and watching our favorite movie.
My Turtle Pumpkin Cheesecake is the SLICE of the ball
and warms your heart, even though it's served cold. CHEERS!
