Reviews Views Date of last review 59 25595 Tue April 15, 2008 Recommended By Average Rating 98% of reviewers 9.5 Description: This recipe tastes just like Pumpkin Pie.. so moist and delicious! I have had many compliments on it and I had a friend make it. Even though they do not like Pumpkin very much they loved it! This recipe is my own creation.. please do not copy for the purpose of publishing or use on any other site without my expressed permission. Ingredients: CRUST 3/4 cup pecans (finely chopped) 3/4 cup Almond Flour 2 Tablespoons butter (melted) FILLING 16 ounces cream cheese -- softened 1 cup splenda (pourable) or sugar substitue that is equal to 1 cup of sugar. 15 ounces pumpkin (one can) 3/4 cup sour cream 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 large eggs -- room temperature How To Prepare: CRUST Combined finely chopped pecans with Almond Flour (or Almond Meal). Stir Melted butter into the nut mixture. Press the nut mixture into the bottom and 1 1/2 inch up the sides of a springform pan. Set aside while you make the filling. FILLING Blend cream cheese with the sugar substitute until creamy... add the rest of the ingredients except the eggs together well... Add eggs, one at a time until just blended. Pour over the crust. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven. Run a knife around the outside edge of the pan to loosen the cheese cake from the sides, to keep it from cracking. Let cool completely. After it cools refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. The cheesecake may shrink from the sides while cooling, but that is okay.. you are going to love the flavor.. Have a piece for breakfast, it is goooood!!! Tastes just like pumpkin pie... but only better!

Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: Moist, real cheesecake texture Cons: OK, I don't like pumpkin pie at all, but this was altogether different. It was lightly seasoned, rich, moist and delicioso. I highly recommend it. maryg Senior LCF Member Registered: May 2004 Location: NE Ohio Posts: 76 Review Date: Mon September 27, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: wonderful texture, creamy not grainy, excellent taste and appearance Cons: none So happy that I gave this a try. Next time I will use pumpkin pie spice, only because I like a more cinnamony, less gingery tasting pumpkin pie. This was easy to make, great looking and super tasting. Very company worthy IMO. beeb Why wait, just do it NOW! Registered: February 2004 Location: Central New Jersey Posts: 1966 Review Date: Wed September 29, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: It is the best cheesecake and so easy to make Cons: Not one little thing, except I never got more than one piece because EVERYONE ATE IT ALL I love this and plan to make it again for Thanksgiving. I am not going to tell anyone it's lowcarb either so I can see their surprise when I mention it AFTER it's all gone!!! KarenA Junior LCF Member Registered: April 2004 Location: Petaluma, Ca.

Registered: August 2002 Location: Texas Posts: 2031 Review Date: Wed October 13, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 8    Pros: Fairly quick and easy Cons: I made this last night. It is pretty easy to make but I had to cook mine for about 15 min longer than the recipe called for. I also used the pumpkin pie spice. I think next time I will add a bit more splenda as I like mine a bit sweeter but other than that it was GREAT! dnag50 Junior LCF Member Registered: September 2004 Posts: 1 Review Date: Wed October 13, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe?

Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: Light and fluffy. Cons: Cracked a little on top. Slice up some of Dottie's Pumpkin Poundcake and cover the bottom of a greased springform pan. The pound cake becomes your crust. 4beanz Senior LCF Member Registered: October 2004 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 82 Review Date: Thu November 25, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe?

Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Easy to make and it's delicous Cons: This cheesecake is really good and it's hard to believe it's low carb. Like another review I also cooked mine about 15 minutes longer then called for. finesse Senior LCF Member Registered: June 2004 Location: New York Posts: 113 Review Date: Mon December 20, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Wonderful taste, Easy to make! Cons: This had such a great taste and texture. The crust came out so good also. My husband actually liked it and he is anti low carb/ low sugar. He did say he didn't think it was quite sweet enough, however I thought it was fine. I did use the pumpkin pie spice also. I made mine in a 10 in spring form pan, and did need to make an extra 1/2 of the crust recipe. I plan on making this for a Christmas Eve dinner. If you miss the flavor of pumpkin pie, you really should make this! Also, I am not all that great at cooking, usually something ends up coming out wrong, but this was easy and came out great! annie99 Junior LCF Member Registered: July 2004 Location: Greensboro, NC Posts: 5 Review Date: Thu December 23, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe?
