Low Carb/ Low Sugar/ Fat Free Pumpkin Cheesecake



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone. I was very excited ( possibly over-excited) to share with you all a pumpkin cheesecake recipe. I have been feening for something yummy and pumpkin. I changed the recipe slightly due to the fact I wanted to use fat free cream cheese to get rid of the fat of course. This serves 8. I also used a glass pie pan to bake it in.

ORIGINAL RECIPE-Ingredients


    • 2 (8 ounce) packages light cream cheese ( not fat free)
    • 1/2 cup Splenda granular
    • 2/3 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree ( not pumpkin pie filling which contains sugar)
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
    • whipped cream (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. In large bowl combine softened cream cheese, Splenda, and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Blend in eggs, one at a time.
  3. Remove one cup of batter and spread into bottom of glass or crockery baking dish which has been sprayed very lightly with non-stick spray.
  4. Add pumpkin and spices to remaining batter and stir until blended.
  5. Carefully spread pumpkin layer over first layer.
  6. Bake in preheated oven 35-45 minutes or until center is almost set.
  7. Allow to cool, then chill several hours or overnight.
  8. Serve with whipped cream if desired and wait for compliments.
  9. I used a 10" by 8" glass baking dish to cook this. Next time I think I would double the recipe and only increase to a 9" by 13" baking dish to make a thicker cheese cake. This would show of the layers better. Some cinnamon dusted on the top would have been a nice touch.

I added about 3/4 cup of Splenda in the mix. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the top of the cheesecake.

I broke it down on paper myself to get the right calculations that we need to know.

Calories- 85

Carbs- 5g

Protein- 9.75 g

Sugar: 4.5 g

I have not tasted it yet since it is currently cooling, but I'll update you all tomorrow when I bring it into work!!

It was yummy . A few people that I didn't tell didn't even think it was healthy lol . Only thing I would change would be to add about a quarter cup of Splenda to the pumpkin mixture , just to make the top more sweet .

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
