Description

This pumpkin pie cheesecake is a no-bake treat made with pumpkin puree, cream cheese, and fresh-made whipped cream in a graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese
1/3 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

Directions

1 Place a bowl and beaters for a hand-held electric mixer into the freezer to cool, about 15 minutes.
2 Mix cream cheese and sugar together in a bowl; stir in lemon juice and vanilla extract. Fold in half of the pumpkin puree; add cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
3 Remove the bowl and beaters from the freezer. Attach beaters to an electric mixer; pour cream into chilled bowl. Beat until stiff peaks form and cream stays in place when the bowl is tipped on its side.
4 Fold remaining pumpkin puree and whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Spread evenly into crust; cover with plastic wrap.
5 Chill in the refrigerator until set, 3 to 4 hours.
