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!).
