Ingredients

Servings 14

1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated sugar cookie dough
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 1/4 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 °F. Remove 1/2 cup cookie dough from roll; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another use. Cut remaining cookie dough into 3/4-inch slices; press in bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of ungreased 9-inch springform pan.
In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on low speed just until smooth and creamy; do not overbeat. Beat in eggs just until blended. Add pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice; beat on low speed just until blended. Pour into cookie crust, spreading to cover edge of crust.
Bake 42 to 46 minutes or until center is set. Cool 1 hour; run knife carefully around side of pan. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled.
To serve, top each slice with a dollop of whipped topping. Sprinkle whipped topping with additional pumpkin pie spice, if desired.

Why this Pumpkin Cheesecake with Sugar Cookie Crust works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Pumpkin Cheesecake with Sugar Cookie Crust works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
