CHEW THE RIGHT THING



BITE IT!

HG's Vanilla Crème Pumpkin Cheesecake



The Great Pumpkin!

We're year-round pumpkin freaks, but fall is when all the "normal" people

celebrate the fat orange squash. Check out this recipe. It's SO great!



HG Heads Up! You'll need a springform pie pan for this recipe. You can

usually find 'em cheapie-cheap at any supermarket, or click here to order

one online.



Ingredients:



For Crust

2 cups Fiber One Original bran cereal, ground to a breadcrumb-like

consistency in a blender or food processor

1/4 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Smart Balance Light

or Brummel & Brown), melted & mixed with 2 tbsp. water

3 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)

1 tsp. cinnamon



For Filling

32 oz. fat-free cream cheese, room temperature

1 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)

1 cup canned pure pumpkin

1 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)

1/4 cup light brown sugar (not packed)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice



For Topping

3/4 cup fat-free sour cream

1/4 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract



Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.



Combine all crust ingredients and mix thoroughly. Spray a springform pie

pan (about 9" wide) lightly with nonstick spray -- make sure to get the sides

as well as the bottom. Then evenly distribute crumb mixture, using your

hands or a flat utensil to firmly press and form the crust along the bottom of

the pan. Set aside.



In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Using an electric mixer set to

medium speed, mix until completely blended and lump-free. Pour mixture

into the pan.



Bake in the oven for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, until set. Allow

pie to chill in the fridge for at least 3 - 4 hours (overnight is best).



Once pie has chilled, carefully release and remove springform top. In a small

bowl, mix all topping ingredients together until thoroughly blended. Spread

topping evenly over the pie.



Return pie to the fridge until ready to serve. Cut pie into 12 slices.

FIGHT IT!

Pumpkin Cheesecake, Average



PLUMPkin Cheesecake!

Cheesecake is dangerous territory, no matter what. And sadly (SO sadly!),

adding pumpkin to it does NOT make it guilt-free. (We learned that lesson

from YOU, carrot cake!) It really is hard to resist a delicious dessert when it's

only available for a limited time, especially when it's as tempting as pumpkin

cheesecake. Have you noticed it's been popping up on menus at places like

Olive Garden and The Cheesecake Factory? Be strong, people. Resist the

urge to dive headfirst into a slab of the stuff. The average not-so-large slice

manages to cram in around 431 calories and 26g fat (and a WHOLE lot of

sugar!). That's the same amount of fat as EIGHT SLICES of our cheesecake!

So here's an idea -- make our version ahead of time, go out for your night

on the town, skip dessert, and then come home to enjoy a hefty slice of HG's

Vanilla Crème Pumpkin Cheesecake. Yeah, we're full of good ideas (and full

of pumpkin cheesecake!).
