    While I find it sinful to want low cal pumpkin pie for Thankgiving, :wink: here is a version that I have actually made in the past for other calorie conscious friends and it's not bad. Even my hubby liked it despite the lower cal alterations.

    Ingredients:
    For Crust
    2 cups Fiber One Honey Squares
    ¼ cup Country Crock with Calcium and Vitamin D
    2 tbsp Water

    For Filling
    One 15 oz can Libby’s pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
    One 12 oz can Carnation evaporated 2% Low Fat milk
    ¾ cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
    ½ cup 100% All Whites Egg Whites
    ¼ cup Maple Grove Farms sugar-free maple syrup
    1 tsp. cinnamon
    ½ tsp ground ginger
    ¼ tsp ground cloves
    1/8 tsp sea salt

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Spray a pie pan lightly with nonstick spray and set aside.

    Place cereal in a blender or food processor, and grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.

    In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine butter with 2 tbsp. water. Microwave until just melted. Add to the medium bowl and stir contents until thoroughly mixed.

    Evenly distribute crust mixture along the bottom of the pie pan, using your hands or a flat utensil to firmly press and form the crust. Press it into the edges and up along the sides of the pan.

    Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

    In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the filling. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie crust. (Filling may be taller than the crust, this is okay)

    Bake pie in the oven for 45 minutes, and then remove it and allow to cool.

    Chill in the fridge for several hours (for best results, chill overnight). Cut into 8 slices

    Orrrrrr, just make a regular pumpkin pie and eat a small helping. Full-fat tastes best, IMO.

    I am a pumpkin pie fiend, and this was great! I got it from Live Lean on Facebook. It was a hit with all my calorie-conscious friends :)

    What you will need:
    1 15 oz. can pumpkin
    8 oz of fat free evaporated milk or skim milk
    3 egg whites
    3/4 cup stevia
    1 tbs vanilla
    1tbs cinnamon
    1 tsp nutmeg
    1 refrigerated pie crust

    Instructions:
    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and form pie crust into pie baking dish
    2. Mix pumpkin, milk, and egg whites until smooth
    3. slowly stir in the stevia and then add all of the spices and vanilla
    4. Pour the pumpkin pie mix into the crust
    5. Bake for 15 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees; Continue to bake for another 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean
    6. Let pie cool and then enjoy!

    I can't remember the exact calorie count, but I know it was WAY lower than traditional pumpkin pie. Hope that helps! Happy Thanksgiving!
