Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Melted unsalted butter
- 450 grams Low-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
- 200 grams Pure pumpkin puree
- 120 grams Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 80 grams Granular sweetener (e.g., stevia or erythritol)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the low-fat cream cheese and granular sweetener with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Blend until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed between each addition to avoid over-beating.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
Carefully remove the springform pan collar, slice, and serve. Enjoy your low-calorie pumpkin cheesecake!
