So, this is the time of year that I always used to be able to count on scarfing down a dessert of pumpkin pie.  Now, in light of my plumbing alteration, I feel a certain need to modify the policy.  Do any of you dear posters have some suggestions for pumpkin pie recipes that wouldn't blow the lid off my new-found healthy eating fetish?  Will you share?  Thanks.

I use the recipe on the pumpkin can except I use fat free evaporated milk and add a couple of scoops of vanilla protein powder. Bakes up nicely.

Here are 2 no bake recipies either one can be put in a sf crust or just in a bowl.

Sugar Free Pumpkin Fluff
  1 instant sugar free pudding mix (vanilla, French vanilla, or butterscotch) 2 c. Milk 1 can pumpkin (season as you would pumpkin pie I use 1 t. cinnamon ½ t. nutmeg & ½ t ginger) 1 pkg Cool Whip   Beat milk, add pudding, pumpkin & spice. Refrigerate until set. Top with Cool Whip
Next time I want to make this I'm going to try using greek yogurt instead of milk. It will give it a nice texture I think.



Turtle pumpkin pie

 

1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. sf caramel ice cream topping, divided
1 graham cracker pie crust(6 0z.)
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. chopped pecans, divided

1box (15 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts
¾ cup Splenda Granular
¼ teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
3 large eggs
One 15-ounce cans Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
One 12-ounce can low-fat evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk)
SF Cool Whip
 
Preheat oven to 325° F.  Line two regular pie plates with the crusts as directed on box.  

Mix the Splenda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a small bowl. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and blend in the pumpkin and spice mixture.

Gradually blend in the evaporated milk.

Divide the pumpkin custard filling between the two pie plates. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the filling is set around the edges and the center is still a bit soft. Transfer to a rack to cool, then chill. Serve with a dollop of SF cool whip.

I don't think I can have the crust yet.  Do you suppose this would bake OK without the pie shell?  I did buy a bag of ground almonds at Trader Joes yesterday.  Is there a recipe to make a crust using those and a little butter and splenda?  Wondering if that would work for the refrigerated pies too.

I made a rockin' smoothie yesterday... it was like drinking pumpkin pie! I used half a large cooked yam (sweet potato) peeled, a cup of milk, water & ice, a scoop of vanilla protein powder, 5 big dashes of cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg (I would have preferred to use pumpkin pie spice, but I couldn't find it in the cupboard). I blended it until smooth. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!
