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
Instructions
- Mix the Cream Cheese and Pumpkin Filling: In a large bowl, whip together the 1/3 less fat cream cheese, pureed pumpkin, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar for several minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or a spatula to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Incorporate the Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed Truwhip into the cream cheese and pumpkin mixture, whipping lightly until everything is combined into a smooth, creamy filling.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Spoon the pumpkin filling evenly into the prepared 9-inch reduced-fat graham cracker crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Chill to Set: Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for several hours—typically at least 2-3 hours—until the filling firms up enough to slice and serve.
