Pumpkin Cheesecake Pudding Pie
I'm new to the message boards, but I'd figure I'd share a recipe I came up with on my own and made for Thanksgiving and is great for the holidays or anytime. I spent a few weeks playing around with different ingredients and ratios, and finally settled on the recipe below. Tastes decadent, but with way less calories than a regular piece of pumpkin cheesecake would be. Plus pretty simple to make:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 8 oz Neufchatel cheese (like cream cheese, but with 1/3 less fat)
- 2 cups skim or low fat milk
- 2 packages Sugar Free, Fat Free Cheesecake Pudding mix (jello)
- 1 tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice (McCormick or otherwise)
- 1 pre-made pie crust (graham cracker or otherwise...or save calories/carbs and skip the crust)
- cool whip or whipped cream (light, sugar-free, etc) to garnish
1. Blend together pumpkin, spices, neufchatel cheese, and milk until smooth/no lumps. Add pudding mixes (my blender couldn't handle this, so I poured the mixture into a bowl and mixed by hand) and mix for 2 minutes.
2. Pour into crust. Chill for at least 1 hour. Top with whipped cream for garnish. Or serve straight up without crust or as a parfait by layering crushed graham crackers, cool whip, and cheesecake mixture.
Hope you enjoy it! Let me know if any of you try it

I like some of the ingredients but I don't eat anything with cinnamon spices so I may try to do it without the pumpkin. Thank you for sharing!0

I have all the ingredients so will try your delish sounding recipe this afternoon! Sounds so easy! Thanks for sharing. Do you have a calorie count?0

Here's the calorie breakdown per serving if you were to use the crust and divide into 8 portions (whipped topping not included):
Calories: 262.5
Carbs: 29.5
Fat: 11 g
Protein: 7.25 g
Fiber: 2 g
Sugar: 8 grams (mostly from the crust)
It is actually less calories than this because I found that when I made the pie, I had too much filling (about a cup left over) and just saved it into containers straight up to bring as dessert to lunch at work.0 -
definitely gona try it, i need replacements for my sugar cravings.
i spent half an hour salivating over pictures of cakes0 -
