Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Pumpkin contains carotenoids, plant pigments that color them orange-yellow. Carotenoids are a form of vitamin A that help with vision.
  • tip 2
    Be sure to use canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, for this cheesecake. Pumpkin pie filling contains other ingredients and will not work in this recipe.
  • tip 3
    To help prevent cracks in the cheesecake, do not overbeat the mixture once the eggs are added.
