No Bake Pumpkin Pie Protein Cheesecake

This no bake pumpkin pie cheesecake recipe combines 6 simple ingredients to create a super creamy filling that’s high protein, low fat, and delicious. Seriously, you’ll never believe a cheesecake this creamy has just 5 grams of fat per slice! 

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Ingredients

The protein cheesecake filling is crazy simple. Here’s everything you’ll need: 

• protein powder, granulated sugar substitute, and pumpkin pie spice
• canned pumpkin, fat free cream cheese, and fat free or lite Cool Whip

Protein Powder

The recipe calls for PEScience Select vanilla protein powder which is a blend of whey and casein. This blend tends to be a bit thicker than whey-only protein powder. So if you’re using a different protein, you may need to add an extra scoop. 

You could also use a pumpkin spice flavored protein powder and omit the pumpkin pie spice. 

Sugar Substitute

I used Swerve Granular, an erythritol-based, zero-calorie sweetener that substitutes 1:1 for sugar. If you’re using a different sweetener, be sure it’s a 1:1 swap with sugar. 

The 3 tablespoons of Swerve in this recipe, for example, weighs 36 grams. That’s roughly the same weight as real sugar. If you use something like Splenda or stevia that’s super concentrated, 3 tablespoons may weigh a fraction of that and could affect the consistency of your pumpkin pie cheesecake. 

In case you’re wondering, you can find Swerve, PEScience, and all my other recommended products on my Amazon list. 

Cream Cheese and Cool Whip

Depending on your location, fat free cream cheese can be tricky to find. Nearly every Walmart and Kroger I’ve been in carried it, and HEB in Texas carries it as well. 

If you have trouble tracking some down, however, 1/3 fat cream cheese works just fine. 

For the Cool Whip, you’ll find this in the frozen section of most grocery stores. You’ll want to let it thaw briefly before folding into the pumpkin pie cheesecake filling. 

Graham Cracker Crust 

If you have trouble finding a reduced fat graham cracker crust, you can use a regular crust,  a homemade crust like the low carb crust in my white chocolate raspberry protein cheesecake, or the mini crusts like I used in my fudge brownie pie. Since the mini crusts come in a pack of 6, you might want to cut the filling recipe in half or use 12 mini crusts. 

I’ve also seen people skip the crust altogether and use the pumpkin pie cheesecake filling on rice cakes or as a dip.
