The Pumpkin Cheesecake at Disneyland
Can you believe how fast this fall season has gone? I can't. If you work in the retail world, Christmas has already, undoubtedly, consumed your life (like mine), but before the shift into the holiday spirit is complete, I think it is only fair to leave Thanksgiving alone. So, in honor of this poor overshadowed holiday, I decided to do one more fall-themed article before the red and the green take over everything. I have decided to share with you all a delicious pumpkin cheesecake from Disneyland. I am actually making mine gluten-free by substituting the graham crackers with a gluten-free version! I can't wait to bring this over to my grandmother's house to share with all my family.

Tips and Tricks
- I substituted normal graham crackers for gluten-free ones. I don't think it substituted the same because my crust was a little liquidy. I added in some more, but it was still on the buttery side. This later causes some leakage from the pan.
- If your pan does leak a little wrap some foil around the bottom.
- I ended up cooking my cheesecake for a little over an hour because I wanted to make sure it was cooked all the way through.
This cheesecake recipe was so easy I am still amazed by how delicious it is.
