Ingredients:
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
Instructions:
- Line the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper or grease thoroughly with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Gradually whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy and uniform.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and lemon juice, mixing on low speed until the color is a consistent orange.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula to maintain aeration.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours, or overnight.
