I just made this today and it is deliciousssss omg. This is a slightly healthier version of regular pumpkin cheesecake - I modified the regular recipe for my nutrition class.
CRUST:
56 reduced-fat vanilla wafers (about 8 ounces)
1 Tablespoon butter, meltedFILLING:
5 (8-ounce packages) fat-free cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash of allspice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 (15-ounce) can unsweetened pumpkin puree————-
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
2. Prepare crust: Place cookies in a food processor; pulse until finely ground. Add butter; pulse 10 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. Firmly press mixture into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes; cool on wire rack.
3. Reduce oven temperature to 325° F.
4. Prepare filling: Beat cream cheeses with mixer at high speed until smooth. Add granulated sugar and next 8 ingredients (granulated sugar through vanilla), beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add pumpkin; beat well.
5. Pour filling into prepared crust; bake at 325° for 1 1/2 hours or until almost set. (Cheesecake is done when the center barely jiggles when pan is touched).
6. Remove cheesecake from oven; run a knife around the outside edge. Cool to room temperature; cover and chill at least 8 hours.
