Low-Carb Pumpkin Cheesecake
- Nut Crust
- 1 c. pecans
- 1 T. Splenda
- 2 T. butter
- 1/4 t. ginger
- 1/4 t. cinnamon
- Filling
- 24 oz. cream cheese (softened)
- 5 eggs
- 1 1/2 c. Splenda
- 1 c. heavy cream
- 2 c. pureed pumpkin
- 1 T. vanilla
- 1/2 t. cinnamon
- 1/2 t. netmeg
- Chop the pecans into crumbs, mix with Splenda, ginger, and cinnamon.
- Melt the butter, add to nut mixture, and press into the bottom of a 10" springform pan (note: it may take a litle work, but you should be able to get a complete layer)
- Preheat oven to 325, place a pan of water on the lower rack
- Beat the cream cheese and vanilla on low speed, adding the eggs one at a time
- When the cream cheese mixture is smooth, turn off the mixer and add the Splenda; mix gently by hand until the Splenda is thoroughly moistened (unless you want Splenda all over your kitchen -- trust me, I know from experience); add cinamon and nutmeg
- Return to mixer and blend smooth, then add the pumpkin and cream and mix gently
- Pour mixture into springform pan (start slowly so as not to disturb the crust) and bake for about 90 minutes
Makes 12 servings at appx. 8 net carbs per serving.
