no-sugar-added dessert recipes (mostly pumpkin stuff)

Below is a recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake and Pumpkin pie. Just don't
forget that you can always make a IDS vanilla/cinnamon shake and add canned
pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix) and some extra pumpkin pie spices or extra
Splenda to taste.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

2 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened (may use
regular or reduced fat or fat free cream cheese)
1/2 cup Splenda Granular
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Dash ground nutmeg
1/3 cup HONEY MAID Graham Cracker Crumbs (****MAY OMIT IF DOING LOW
CARB)
1/2 cup thawed COOL WHIP FREE Whipped Topping

MIX cream cheese, Splenda and vanilla with electric mixer on medium
speed until well blended. Add eggs; mix until blended. Do not over beat
after adding eggs. Remove 1 cup batter; stir in pumpkin and spices.

Spray 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray; sprinkle bottom with
crumbs.

POUR remaining plain batter into crust. Top with pumpkin batter.
BAKE at 325°F for 40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool.
Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Top each serving with 1 Tbsp. of
the whipped topping.

********If you omit the graham cracker crumbs then this is a SF
pumpkin cheesecake.

Or substitute ground nuts or finely chopped nuts for the graham
cracker crumbs. Better for you & still gives you a bit of that crust feeling.

You can make a crust with finely ground pecans, some splenda and butter and cinnamon to moisten and press into a pan. Or just use regular crust and scrape out of it.



I've made this for family dinners and gatherings with friends and everyone really liked it. I served it with SF Cool Whip and NO one noticed that it was no sugar added.  I make the filling, fill a 9" deep dish pie crust (frozen, store bought) and then pour the remaining filling mixture into ramekins sprayed with non-stick spray.  I can eat a piece of the regular pie OR eat one of the crustless ones in the ramekins.
