It's pumpkiny, creamy, cheesecake fun for the whole family (if you share!)...HG Heads Up! You'll need a springform pie pan for this recipe. You can usually find 'em cheapie-cheap at any supermarket, or click here to order one online.

Ingredients:

For Crust:

2 cups Fiber One bran cereal (original); ground to a breadcrumb-like consistency in a blender or food processor

1/4 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Smart Balance Light or Brummel & Brown); melted & mixed with 1 oz. water 3 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated

1 tsp. cinnamon

For Filling:

32 oz. fat-free cream cheese; softened

1 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters)

1 cup canned pure pumpkin

1 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated

1/4 cup light brown sugar (not packed)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice For Topping

3/4 cup fat-free sour cream

1/4 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine all crust ingredients and mix thoroughly. Spray a nonstick springform pie pan (about 9" wide) lightly with nonstick spray -- make sure to get the side s as well as the bottom. Then evenly distribute crumb mixture, using your hands or a flat utensil to firmly press and form the crust along the bottom of the pan. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Using an electric mixer set to medium speed, mix until completely blended and lump-free. Pour mixture into the pan. Bake in the oven for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes (or until set). Allow pie to chill in the fridge for at least 3 - 4 hours (overnight is best). Once pie has chilled, carefully release and remove springform top. Mix all topping ingredients together, and spread topping evenly over the pie. Return pie to the fridge until ready to serve. Cut pie into 12 slices.
