Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz 1/3 less fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin (canned is fine)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (unpacked)
- 4 oz Truwhip (thawed)
Crust
- 9 inch reduced-fat Graham Cracker Crust (or homemade)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the 1/3 less fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese, pureed pumpkin, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or spatula to whip the mixture for a few minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the whipped topping: Add the thawed Truwhip to the cream cheese mixture and whip again until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spoon the pumpkin spice cream cheese filling evenly into the 9-inch reduced-fat graham cracker crust.
- Chill to set: Place the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for several hours, typically at least 3 to 4 hours, until the filling is firm and set.
Notes
- Use canned pureed pumpkin labeled 100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix, for best flavor.
- Chilling the cheesecake overnight will produce the best firm texture.
- If Truwhip is unavailable, you can substitute with whipped cream, but Truwhip helps maintain a light yet stable texture.
- For added texture, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or crushed graham crackers before serving.
- This dessert is best served cold due to its no-bake nature.
