This recipe is delicious! Put 2 tablespoons of low fat whipped cream on it.

I know, artificial sweeteners are bad. But for me, it's either eat those or eat tons of calorie-laden real sugar. I am too addicted to sugar to give it up.

    This is perfect since I don't like the crust anyhow!

    This is so good... I scoop it out , put it over 1 broken up cinnamon graham cracker and feel like I'm eating it with crust. Soooo good

    Curious as to how you are able to moderate your intake of this, as pumpkin, cornstarch, milk etc are all sugars. Or is your addiction limited to only very specific sugars such as sucrose and the like?

    Just made this and it is delicious - i did realize that the 37 calories does not include the splenda that is added :( so it ends up to be closer to 90 calories. still good!!!

    I just learned two days ago that Splenda can have calories. Which is ridiculous, because they advertise it as a no-calorie sweetener. >:(

    But one cup of Splenda has about 90 calories, so divided by 8, it doesn't raise the calorie amount too much

    Will use some of the reviewers ideas - bake in individual ramekins and I don't like Splenda but will use stevia instead.
    - Thanks for the idea:)

    One day I compared low-fat cool whip to regular cool whip since I was making a dessert for a diabetic coworkers.
    Low fat cool whip has more carbs (and sugar) than regular cool whip. Many companies will add sugar to their low- and non-fat versions of items to keep the flavor the same. I'd rather the full fat version since the fat helps with satiety.

    I don't even like pumpkin and that 'pie' looks like sadness

    Can it be called pie if it doesn't have a crust? ;)

    Thank you for the recipe. It definitely sounds like a great dessert alternative to pie!

    A "crustless" pumpkin pie is really just pumpkin custard, but it's still tasty. It's a nice go-to throughout the year, but then splurge on the special occasions and with a piece of the real-deal pumpkin pie. I'd also much rather have a small dollop of regular whipped cream. Like the PP above said, low fat doesn't mean less sugar. And I can't stand the sugerless stuff.

    Either way, it's still yummy. No need to be critical about what it is called.
