Angie's Smashing Pumpkin Cheesecake
This is a tasty cheesecake made without a base. If you are doing a low-carb diet you can substitute in sweet and low or whatever. I personally don't enjoy artificial sweeteners but I have to admit that using that instead of sugar isn't that bad.
This makes a large cheesecake enough to satisfy at least 10 people.Ingredients
- 1 kg Cream cheese
- 6 Eggs
- 1 large tin ≅800g Pumpkin
- 1 1/2 cups Sugar (or equivalent amount of artificial sweetner)
- 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- Preheat oven to 350°F or 180°C
- In a large mixing bowl soften the cream cheese then add the sugar and blend on medium.
- Slowly add eggs one at a time mixing each until totally incorporated then once all the eggs are added continue mixing until smooth.
optionalIf you wish to create a swirled decoration on the top for that professional touch remove some of the white mixture now. - Add the pumpkin and then the vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon; blending all the while.
- Pour mixture into a spring form pan. If you kept some of the white mixture pour this on top now and swirl it with a toothpick or fork.
