Hello Fit-NOW Friends!
I was in search of some delicious treats for the holidays that won't break the calorie bank! I found online this luscious swirled cheesecake dessert is a no bake, mix-and-chill recipe. Plus, each slice is under 200 calories!
MAKES: 12 servings

19

- 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
- 2 8 ounce packages fat-free cream cheese
- 1 15 ounce can pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin

For crust::
1.
In a medium bowl, stir together crushed graham
crackers and melted butter until crackers are moistened. Press mixture
onto bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Cover and chill while preparing
filling.
For filling:: 2. In a food processor or blender, combine the reduced-fat cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the sugar, 1/4 cup of the milk, the vanilla, and orange peel. Cover and process or blend until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.
