For those of us who cannot bake cheesecake but love this classic dessert!

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese

Cooking Directions

1. Place a bowl and beaters for a hand-held electric mixer into the freezer to cool, about 15 minutes.
2. Mix cream cheese and sugar together in a bowl; stir in lemon juice and vanilla extract. Fold in half of the pumpkin puree; add cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
