With Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend I thought I'd give this crustless two minute pumpkin pie a try

http://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/healthy-recipes/10-mouthwatering-low-calorie-desserts?page=2

I was wondering if anyone has tried it and how much sweetener or sugar you used? I love pumpkin pie but could acutally do with out the crust so I am hoping for some help on this.

Thanks :happy:

    I'll make this for the family. Thanks for the recipe.

    I would assume they mean stevia, or w.e. I'm going to use agave nectar.

    Single serving probably needs one packet of artificial sweetener or a tbsp(try two tsp if you like) of agave/maple syrup.

    Np prob for recipe. I figure this way I am still enjoying a favorite but with out the extra fat and calories from the egg yoke and then pie crust. I never thought of using maple syrup. I try to stay clear of sweeteners as much as possible. Thanks so much. I think I will try it tomorrow before the weekend to see if I need to make adjustments.

    So I tried it once last night with 1 tbsp packed brown sugar and 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. I didnt like the texture and it was a little bland. Today I made (its cooling now) with 1.5 tbsp packed brown sugar, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1 tbsp 1% milk and I blended and it in my chopper. First with out the egg whites for a while and then I added the egg whites and blended till it was well mixed. I will let you know how the second round turned out.

    BTW, here is the original recipe from the SHAPE website:


    2. 2-Minute Pumpkin Pie
    If you need a little something to satisfy your sweet tooth, whip up this 75-calorie pumpkin pie for one. This simple recipe, pared down to the most basic and common ingredients, only takes 2 minutes to make, but the end result tastes as delicious as traditional, calorie-packed pie.
    Ingredients:
    1/2 c. pumpkin puree
    1/4 c. egg whites (from an egg or carton)
    Sweetener
    Cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

    Directions:
    
Mix together all the ingredients. If you prefer a flan-like texture, add more pumpkin; if you prefer a cake-like texture, add more egg whites. Microwave for two minutes. Use a mix of Greek yogurt, hazelnut cream cheese, and pumpkin pie spice for the icing. Top with toasted pecans.

    Makes one serving.
