Pumpkin Cheesecake

Extraordinary cheesecake? The Brandy make this recipe so much better. I only use fresh pumpkin in my recipes. In the Fall I purchase several pie (small) pumpkins. All I do is clean, peel and cube then steam them until cooked through. Once cooled, I freeze them in 1 & 2 cup amounts. This way I always have fresh on hand.
