Description

A creamy, guilt-free dessert perfect for fall, made with wholesome ingredients like Greek yogurt and pumpkin puree.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 3 gelatin sheets or 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
  • Graham cracker crumbs (for crust, optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you prefer to have a crust, you can press graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of a cheesecake pan for added texture.
  2. Mix together the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and spices until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Soak the gelatin in water until it softens, then dissolve it in a small amount of warm water. Incorporate this into your pumpkin mixture to help it set properly.
  4. Pour the mixture into your prepared cheesecake pan.
  5. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  6. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Serve garnished with cinnamon or whipped cream. Can be stored in the fridge for up to five days.
