Pumpkin Chiffon
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.
Just in time for a fancy party, a super-easy, festive dessert. This can be made in about 3 minutes and keeps for days covered in the refrigerator. Feed this to the kids (and adults) instead of ice cream.
Ingredients:
- package of cream cheese (softened). Just leave it out on the counter to soften up, or you can zap it in your microwave (unwrapped and in a bowl) for 10-15 seconds on high.
- ½ cup of canned pumpkin (or more to taste)
- ¼ cup of Truvia (granulated)
- ½ tsp of pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp of vanilla
Optional:
- whipped cream for serving
Directions:
Put all ingredients in a medium bowl and whip with your electric mixer for 2 minutes until fluffy and smooth. Half way through whipping be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Cover the surface with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator. You can use an ice cream scoop to serve it. To make it fancy, just serve it in a pretty bowl, or you can layer it with whipped cream and serve it in a clear glass.
Enjoy!
Cheers,

I love a steak while I am on Plan ZReduction. I have pretty much perfected my technique using a cast iron skillet but learned this method by asking a French restaurant how they did theirs.

I have seen in some restaurant menus that chefs have made pesto with walnuts, so I decided macadamia nuts must work too. Now I can attest. They not only work, it tastes great!
