Pumpkin cheesecake has been mislabeled for over a century
Original: Pumpkin cheesecake has been mislabeled for over a century, and the recipe has never cared
Pumpkin cheesecake, a staple of American fall baking, has carried the wrong name for more than a hundred years. The canned pumpkin used in most recipes is typically not the round jack-o'-lantern pumpkin people picture, but varieties like the Dickinson squash, which is technically a different plant. The flavor and texture bakers love come from these squash varieties, and recipes have never required a correction.
Why now: The seasonal return of pumpkin desserts each autumn keeps this surprising food fact circulating.
