Looking for something different for the holidays? This pumpkin cheesecake is absolutely phenomenal. It has a pumpkin cheesecake filling with a vanilla cheesecake top layer. The crust is made with gingersnaps which complement the spicy pumpkin filling perfectly. If you are not in love with gingersnaps, substitute vanilla wafers for the crumbs.

These are the best pumpkin seeds I have ever tasted and they were so easy to make!
Rate this recipe and see reviews here!
Ingredients
1-2 Tbs. sea salt
enough water for soaking
2 C. pumpkin seeds

Directions
While carving your pumpkin, collect the seeds in a separate bowl or colander. Try to remove as much of the stringy pumpkin goop from them as possible.
Place seeds in strainer or colander and rinse of all excess pumpkin goop. Salt the bottom of a small bowl. Pour in some pumpkin seeds. Top with more salt. Continue to layer pumpkin seeds and salt. Fill bowl to top with water and let seeds soak overnight.
