There is kind of a funny story behind this recipe. See, I use to work at Fox’s Fish camp as a waitress. There was this other guy waiter there that would make me this pumpkin cheesecake AT LEAST every 3 weeks. It was amazing. So before I quit that job, I HAD to have the recipe because it is absolutely wonderful. So here you all go! From my waiter friend, John!

2 pkg. (8 oz.) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened

And of course I have to put a photo on here of what Sir Henry was doing in the midst of all this baking! He finally likes his Jumparoo!
