Preheat oven to 325°F (300°F if using a dark non-stick pan).

- For filling, beat Neufchatel cheese, pumpkin, ½ cup sugar, vanilla, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, the cloves, and nutmeg in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
- Gradually add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition. Spoon evenly over crusts.
- Bake 15 minutes, or until centers are almost set. Cool.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours, or until chilled.
- Top with whipped cream just before serving and sprinkle with additional cinnamon, if desired.
