Pareve Pumpkin Cheesecake

Posted: Mon, Jan 08 2007, 7:48 pm Post subject: Pareve Pumpkin Cheesecake

2 containers of tofutti cream cheese
1 container of toffutti sour cream
1 15oz can of pumpkin puree
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1/3 cup flour
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 TBLS of pumpkin spice
2 pie crusts (gram cracker or pastry depending on what you prefer)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix all ingredients together in mix until smooth. I do it in the food processor but you can do it in anything. Just make sure it is throughly mixed. Pour into two seperate pie crusts and put in oven for 1 hour. After it's finished baking take it out of the oven and let it cool completly. Then put it in the fridge. As soon as it is chilled you can serve it. It's a yummy tasty delicious treat.

amother nope I changed it. The first time around I only put in one cup of sugar and half a container of sour cream. I like the idea of a pumpkin cheesecake so I retried it and changed some things. This time it came out tasting really good and really smooth.

I had 3 different pumpkin pies over Thanksgiving this year for the first time & I liked the taste so I made the cranberry pumpkin muffins from KBD Short on Time. maybe I'll make this this week for dessert.

I didn't know she was using it as a dessert on Shabbos; to me cheesecake is Shabbos morning breakfast, so I was trying to envision its taste with a cup coffee, that's all.

No offense intented!

I know this post is old, but I found it when looking for something interesting to bring to my MIL for TG. I made it and everyone loved it, so wanted to say thank you for posting this. Smile

Btw... I made a slightly different version also for myself, since I'm dieting, using a block of tofu instead of the tofutti products and waaaay less sugar and no pie crust and it was still delicious.

I am bumping up this thread for yomtov. When I was thinking about what desserts to make for Sukkos, this one came to mind. I made it again and put them both in the freezer. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dessert that is a little bit different, but easy and DELICIOUS!

How did it taste after it was frozen? did you just serve it after it defrosted?
