Just a real quick and easy recipe for the season. This creamy, cheesy pumpkin and spice filling is sure to make you smile and coming in at less than 8 grams net carbohydrates I'm sure you'll want to add this to your list of sweet treats for the season. I hope you enjoy.

No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecakes

Ingredients:

6 wonton wrappers
butter flavored vegetable spray
4 ounces low fat cream cheese (not fat free), at room temperature
1/4 cup low fat sour cream (not fat free)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1/2 cup Splenda
1/4 tsp. molasses
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
pinch each ground ginger and nutmeg

To Prepare Crusts:

Preheat oven to 375'

Lightly spray a muffin tin with the vegetable spray. Arrange the wonton wrappers in the cups and spray them lightly with butter spray. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, Begin checking them at 20 minutes as they can go very quickly once they begin to brown. If the edges are becoming too brown before the bottoms just loosely tent aluminum foil over the muffin tin and continue to cook until browned on the bottom. When they are done set aside to cool. Remove from muffin tin once they have cooled enough to handle and place on rack.

To Prepare Filling

Blend the rest of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor until smooth and creamy. Place by tablespoon full in each prepared crust until the pumpkin mixture is used. Cover and refrigerate to set up for at least 2 hours. Garnish with whipped topping if desired before serving.
