Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz 1/3 less fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin (canned is fine)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp 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
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whip together the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or a spatula until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This usually takes a few minutes.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently add the thawed Truwhip to the cream cheese mixture and whip or fold it in carefully until the filling is smooth, light, and well combined without deflating it completely.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Spoon the prepared pumpkin spice filling into the 9-inch reduced-fat graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly to cover the crust base.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for several hours or until firm, ideally 3-4 hours, so it sets properly before serving.
Notes
- This no-bake cheesecake is quick and easy to prepare, especially when using a pre-made graham cracker crust.
- The dessert is light and less sweet than traditional cheesecakes, making it a great option for a subtle pumpkin-flavored treat.
- Using 1/3 less fat cream cheese and reduced-fat crust helps reduce calories and fat content while maintaining flavor.
- Ensure the Truwhip is fully thawed before mixing to achieve the best texture.
- For best flavor and texture, chill the cheesecake for at least 3 hours but overnight is preferable.
