    List of Ingredients




    12 whole low-fat honey graham crackers, broken into small pieces
    3 tablespoons reduced-fat margarine, melted
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
    2 packages (8 ounces each) fat-free cream cheese, softened
    1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
    1 cup sugar
    1 cup cholesterol-free egg substitute
    1/2 cup evaporated fat-free milk
    1 tablespoon vanilla
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 cups thawed frozen reduced-fat whipped topping
    Additional ground nutmeg (optional)

    Recipe



    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

    2. Place graham crackers, margarine and ginger in food processor or blender; pulse until coarse crumbs are formed. Gently press crumb mixture onto bottom and 3/4 inch up side of pan. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned; cool slightly on wire rack.

    3. Beat remaining ingredients, except whipped topping and additional nutmeg, in large bowl at medium-high speed of electric mixer until smooth; pour into pie crust.

    4. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes or until top begins to crack and center moves very little when pan is shaken back and forth. Cool on wire rack 1 hour; refrigerate until ready to serve.

    5. Just before serving, spoon 1 tablespoon whipped topping on each serving; sprinkle lightly with additional nutmeg.


    Tip:: This cheesecake freezes well. In fact, the flavors improve with freezing!
