Question:
Anyone have a no/low sugar recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake?

Or a recipe that I can use substitutions. I thought about using Splenda, cream cheese, cool whip, pumpkin and spices. Any ideas?    — Sarahlicious (posted on September 20, 2003)

My girlfriend who is Diabetic uses a low fat pie crust, fat free cream cheese and mixes that with a can of pumpkin pie filling(a low sugar, not sure the name), cinnimon, vanilla and tops it with light cool whip. I like it, but everyone has different taste. Good luck!

Go to the library and do a search on Pumpkin...I found several good-looking recipes doing this. I'm going to try the Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes for Thanksgiving this year.

Go to Splenda.com and click on recipes. There is one for pumpkin pie you might like to try. Also the low-fat lime cheesecake is great! Splenda is a lifesaver I think! Enjoy!!!

I've used the recipe for pumpkin pie on the back of the Libby's solid packed plain pumpkin and substituted either Splenda or turbinado sugar (the turbinado sugar was better) for the sugar and both pies turned out phenomenal! I've done a lot of experimenting and have even printed a 120-recipe book just for WLS patients called Desserts....and More! One of the things I've found is that pumpkin recipes work really well with Splenda. Pumpkin also works really well with turbinado sugar, but not if you have cheesecake in it -- then you'd need to use the Splenda. If you have a favorite pumpkin cheesecake recipe, I'd be happy to look at it and tell you what would be the best way to alter it. If you are interesed in my recipe book, click on my profile page or go to www.freewebs.com/recipes-after-rny Good luck to you!
