Low-Fat Pumpkin or Sweet Potato Cheesecake image

It is a lovely combination of light cheesecake and autumn. I never use the canned stuff (fresh mashed sweet potatoes the darker the better are my favourite) but I know it works well. Also, I sometimes use Splenda Brown sugar mix or Sugar Twin brown sugar and some lite maple syrup instead of sugar.

Time 4h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) packages philadelphia fat free cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup mashed yams or 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup honey maid reduced-fat graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup thawed Cool Whip Free

Steps:

  • Prepare sweet potato by either baking or steaming (keeps the nutrients) and mash.
  • Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
  • Add eggs; mix until blended. Do not overbeat after adding eggs.
  • Remove 1 cup batter; stir in yam/pumpkin and spices.
  • Spray 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray; sprinkle bottom with crumbs.
  • Pour remaining plain batter into crust. Top with sweet potato batter.
