pumpkin pie/cheesecake recipe?

[pokey75143]

Ok, we're getting close to Thanksgiving and I've already started thinking about an Atkins friendly dessert. Does anyone have any? I really love pumpkin pie and the only time I used to eat it was Thanksgiving. But I really want to stick to this WOE, so I want to find something similar that I can make and have. (I will be making the traditional pie for my family- but I don't want to be tempted!) I am planning on having a nut crust for whatever I end of doing. So, if anyone has a recipe already, I'd be extremely grateful!

Thanks!
Kris

I don't have a pumpkin pie recipe on hand, but I will definitely be trying out this pumpkin bar recipe.


Low-Carb Sugar-Free Pumpkin Bars

Mix:
1 cup almond flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves (or 2 tsp Allspice instead of cinn or cloves)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
24pks splenda (OR 1/2 cup davinci SF syrup and 6pks of Splenda)
3 tblsp chopped walnuts

Then mix:
1 cup mashed pumpkin
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil

Mix dry into wet and pour into sprayed 9x13 inch pan. Bake 350 for 30-40 min. Let cool then frost. Really good next day!!! If they last that long!!!

Cream Cheese Walnut Frosting

4 oz softened cream cheese
2 tbsp softened butter
2 tbsp cream
1 tsp maple or walnut extract
1 tsp vanilla extract (will also work with 2 tsp vanilla instead of the maple or walnut)
6 pks splenda OR SF vanilla syrup to desired taste and consistancy.

Mix all together till smooth then add 3 tbl chopped walnuts and spread on bars

18 bars at roughly 3.5 carbs each and 2.5 if you use the Davinci and splenda.

Re: pumpkin pie/cheesecake recipe?

below is a link for a cheesecake recipe that i got off ADBB years ago and still use it today. my family always raves over it. i usually make it and use crushed pecans for the crust and top it with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
