Pumpkin cheesecake is a delicious variation of the classic cheesecake, very popular especially during the autumn season and on holidays like Thanksgiving in the United States. Its origin lies in North American tradition, where pumpkin, a central ingredient in many autumn recipes, is incorporated into the cheesecake to give it a smooth and spicy flavor. In several Latin American countries, although cheesecake is not as traditional, this preparation may be known simply as "pumpkin cheese cake" or "pumpkin pie with cheese." The recipe fuses the creamy texture of the cheese with the sweetness and typical spices of pumpkin, creating a comforting and highly appreciated dessert.
