Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • In large bowl combine softened cream cheese, Splenda, and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Blend in eggs, one at a time.
  • 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.
  • Add pumpkin and spices to remaining batter and stir until blended.
  • Carefully spread pumpkin layer over first layer.
  • Bake in preheated oven 35-45 minutes or until center is almost set.
  • Allow to cool, then chill several hours or overnight.
  • Serve with whipped cream if desired and wait for compliments.
  • 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.
