Your cheesecake should feel firm but slightly soft when you gently press it in the middle. This pumpkin cheesecake will be darker than most cheesecakes because of the pumpkin and spices. If you touch the middle and it's completely squishy, it's not done yet. It will still be a little soft and jiggly in the center when you take it out of the oven, but will continue to cook as it cools. Cheesecakes then finished setting up in the fridge.
