Pumpkin Cheesecake Weight Watchers Recipes

PUMPKIN SWIRL CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Cut a 9-inch circle out of parchment paper; place in bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and coat with cooking spray.
• To make pumpkin filling, in a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, 1/2 c sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Gently whisk in 3 eggs, one at a time, until blended; whisk in half-and-half. Pour into prepared pan; spread into an even layer.
• To make cheesecake filling, in another large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat both cream cheeses and 1/4 c sugar until smooth; beat in 1 egg and vanilla. Pour into pan over pumpkin layer; swirl with a knife to slightly combine layers.
