I think this pumpkin cheese cake was the first thing Alex and I made with our Kitchen Aid. It was delicious and we’ve made it at least once or twice more since. I’m definitely keeping this recipe as a staple. We found it of course at AllRecipes.com. You can follow the link or find it below. PS: it’s super easy!!
