You have to try this no bake pumpkin cheesecake. You can enjoy all the deliciousness of a pumpkin cheesecake without the guilt. Low carb, no baking and only 4.9g net carbs per serving.
I’m really not a pumpkin person. Nor am I a cheesecake person. But I do like my desserts and when you are trying to follow a low carb diet you aren’t left with much so a pumpkin cheesecake it is!
Sure I like pumpkin but I don’t crave it so I can’t tell you why I have a hundred pumpkin recipes swimming around in my head. I guess I like the fact that pumpkin puree adds bulk, creaminess and lots of nutrition to a recipe.
