Lower Calorie No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 7 oz 1/3 less fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese
• 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin (you can use tinned)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, unpacked
• 8 oz low calorie whip, thawed
• 9 inch reduced fat Graham Cracker Crust

Method

1. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese, pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar for a few minutes until fluffy.
2. Add the lower calorie whip and mix until smooth.
3. Spoon mixture into pie crust and chill for a few hours, until firm.

You can further reduce the calories by using fat free cream cheese if you wish, but it tastes better if you use 1/3 fat cream cheese instead.
