Ingredients

    Crust
  1. 1 cup ground walnuts
  2. 4 teaspoons granulated sugar
  3. 1 tablespoon Fleischmann's® Original-stick, melted

    Filling
  4. 2 pkgs (8 oz each) 1/3 less fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), softened
  5. 1/2 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
  6. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  7. 1/4 cup granulated sugar substitute
  8. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  10.   Dash ground cloves
  11.   Dash ground nutmeg
  12. 2 eggs
  13.   Reddi-wip® Original Whipped Light Cream
  14.   Ground cinnamon, optional
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (or to 300°F if using dark nonstick pan). Place paper liners in 36 miniature muffin cups.
  2. Crust: Mix walnuts, 4 teaspoons sugar and the Fleischmann's in medium bowl until well blended. Press about 1 teaspoon of the walnut mixture firmly onto bottom of each prepared muffin cup. Bake 5 minutes. Cool.
  3. Filling: Place cream cheese, pumpkin, 1/4 cup sugar, the sugar substitute, vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, the cloves and nutmeg in large bowl; beat with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gradually add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended. Spoon evenly over crusts.
  4. Bake 15 minutes or until centers are almost set. Cool. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until chilled. Top with the Reddi-wip just before serving. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon, if desired.

Cook's Tips
  1. Variation: Substitute medium muffin pan for the miniature muffin pan. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture onto bottom of each of 12 paper-lined medium muffin cups; press firmly onto bottoms of cups. Bake 8 minutes. Cool. Prepare filling as directed. Pour evenly over crusts. Bake 40 minutes or until centers are almost set.
