Intense Craving--Pumpkin cheesecake

I made it through Phase 1 without cheating, and I'm just starting day 5 in Phase 2. My problem is that I see pumpkin cheesecake EVERYWHERE. I always enjoy(ed) having a piece this time of year. I've refrained from eating it so far--but I need help to avoid slipping.


If I know myself, a piece of cheesecake would lead to cake, would lead to french fries, and finally, a real cherry coke.


I tried the pumpkin pudding recipe on the board, but I was not too fond of it. Any other suggestions?


Would a sugar-free dessert containing flour be ok in this phase? Or should I avoid it altogether?


One last question: how many pieces of fruit/day are allowed in Phase 2?

Hello there!


I just tried the Sugar Free Fat Free Jello-o Cheesecake Pudding and it was quite good. I'm guessing if you added pumpkin pie spice that it would be lovely! I also have this recipe on file- it uses crushed pecans for the crust, so it's all legal!

I wouldn't risk a SF dessert without flour, especially given your cravings;

I'm working on "legalizing" a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake bars.

Just note that the pumpkin cheesecake recipe that Destiny posted should be a very occasional treat after well established in phase 2.

One thing that I have found that is critical with pumpkin puree is to first draw off some of the water.

Well, as a result of this recipe (and the pumpkin recipe Cathy posted, made completely sugar free) we've discovered that we don't really like baked goods made with Splenda :(

I made this recipe from the Autumn pumpkin recipes thread for dessert last night.
