Mini No-bake Pumpkin Cheesecakes
While this recipe uses a fair share of heavy whipping cream, it’s served in small containers to keep portion sizes in check. Compared to other cheesecakes, this recipe is less sweet, uses low-fat cream cheese and is packed with tons of fiber and antioxidants from the pumpkin puree.
