Hungry Girl Cheesecake Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (18 ounce) box pillsbury reduced sugar devils food cake mix
    1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
    6 ounces fat free cream cheese, room temperature
    1/4 cup Splenda granular
    1 teaspoon powdered french vanilla fat free non-dairy coffee creamer (see note)
    2 tablespoons warm water (see note)
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a 9\" X 13\" baking pan by coating it with nonstick cooking spray.
    In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix and pumpkin. Stir until completely blended (the mixture will remain very thick). Using a spatula, spread batter into pan and set aside. (I sprayed my spatula with PAM to make this a little easier.).
    Dissolve powdered coffee creamer in the water. Combine softened cream cheese with Splenda, coffee-creamer mixture, and vanilla extract. Mix vigorously until completely blended, smooth and lump-free.
    Spoon cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter, and use a knife to swirl it into the batter. (Don't worry if your swirl isn't perfect -- your brownies will taste delicious no matter what!)
    Place pan in the oven, and bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Allow to cool, and then cut into 16 pieces.
    **NOTE** - If you have liquid sugar free/fat free coffee creamer, use 2 tablespoons, omitting the powdered creamer and water.
