Ingredients
3/4  cup finely crushed graham crackers
2  tablespoons butter, melted
1  eight-ounce package reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel)
1/2  cup sugar or sugar substitute* equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar

2  eight-ounce packages fat-free cream cheese
1  15-ounce can pumpkin

1. For crust: In a medium bowl, stir together crushed graham crackers and melted butter until crackers are moistened. Press mixture onto bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Cover and chill while preparing filling.
