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 (packed)
- 4 oz Truwhip (thawed)
Crust
- 9 inch reduced-fat Graham Cracker Crust
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar. Whip these together using a hand mixer or a spatula for a few minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and well incorporated.
- Add whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed Truwhip into the pumpkin and cream cheese mixture. Continue whipping until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spoon the pumpkin cream cheese filling evenly into the 9-inch reduced-fat graham cracker crust, spreading it out to cover the crust completely.
- Chill the cheesecake: Place the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least a few hours until the filling is firm and set, ideally 3-4 hours or overnight for best texture.
Notes
- This recipe is quick and easy, taking under 15 minutes to prepare if using a ready-made crust.
- The use of reduced-fat cream cheese and graham cracker crust reduces the overall fat content.
- For best results, use canned pumpkin pureed, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.
- Chilling time is vital to allow the cheesecake to firm up properly.
- This no-bake cheesecake is perfect for a light dessert option with fall seasonal flavors.
