Low Fat/Sugar Free Pumpkin Cheesecake

I love pumpkin and saw a recipe the other day for a cheesecake, so I modified it to be low fat and sugar free.  Brought it in to work today and my coworkers LOVE it.  Here's the recipe:

Pumpkin Cheesecake (Low Fat/Sugar Free)

 

 

Crust: 1 3/4 cups low fat graham cracker crumbs 3 tablespoons DiabetiSweet light brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup Benecol (low-fat margarine)

 

Filling: 3 (8-ounce) packages fat free cream cheese, at room temperature 1 (15-ounce) can pureed pumpkin 3 eggs plus 1 egg yolk 1/4 cup light sour cream 1 1/2 cups DiabetiSweet white sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

 

For crust: In medium bowl, combine crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Add melted butter. Press down flat into a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.

 

For filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, egg yolk, sour cream, sugar and the spices. Add flour and vanilla. Beat together until well combined.

 

Pour into crust. Spread out evenly and place oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.

MMMMMM,,,,,,that sounds heavenly!!!!  Thanks for sharing!!

Anytime

Where do you find the DiabetSweet sugar and brown sugar? Thanks

I order it from www.netrition.com.  I love that website - it has $4.95 shipping and pretty reasonable prices.

sounds yummy, now if only someone will make it for me I can't do anything in the kitchen.

If only you were here in Bloomington!!!  Even after my coworkers ate some, I still have half a cheesecake left!  I'm hoping it will freeze well.  Actually - it is surprisingly easy to make.

Now, if you would only come to my house and make it for Thanksgiving, you have a money making opportunity here~!

My favorite meal to make is Thanksgiving.  I even bake my own dinner rolls and make my own turkey stock for gravy.  But, this year being only a few months after surgery, I'm staying home alone and not cooking for anyone :)  Far less stressful for me!!!

Sounds wonderful...... thanks a bunch!! connie d
