Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

My wife found this recipe while leafing through a magazine and wanted me to make it for a party she was having at her work. Well, I made it and it was a big success, so "The Boss" decided that we would add it to our Thanksgiving menu. This will be one of two desserts we will be making and I think it will be a great addition to the table.
