This is delicious!! I used the recipe on the can of Libby's Pure Pumpkin and altered it by substituting egg beaters for eggs, Splenda for sugar, almond milk for sweetened condensed milk and pumpkin pie spice for cinnamon, ginger and cloves (which is basically pumpkin pie spice when mixed together). I found the lowest calorie ready made pie crust and viola! Hope you like it! Even my hubby who doesn't like "diet" food, ate it and couldn't tell the difference from the real thing! :smile:

1 - Pillsbury Deep Dish Pie Crust

1- 15 oz Can of Libby's - 100% Pure Pumpkin

1/2 cup - Egg Beaters

3 TBSP. - Mccormick - Pumpkin Pie Spice

1 Cup - Almond Breeze - Dairy - Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

1 tsp. - Baker's - Imitation Vanilla Flavor

1 cup - Splenda


Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Allow 20 minutes for the frozen pie crust to thaw. While the pie crust is thawing and the oven is pre heating, mix together pumpkin, Splenda, almond milk, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, egg beaters and salt. Mix thoroughly, pour into thawed pie crust. Place aluminum foil around the edges of the crust to keep them getting overly browned. Place pie into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 40-50 minutes more. Cool for 1 -2 hours then cut into 8 servings. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

    I never knew you could use almond milk instead of condensed! I'm low carb, so this sounds awesome (minus the crust, but I have my own recipe for that!). Thanks!

    I didn't know how the almond milk would work either but, I took a chance and it was awesome!

    Ha Ha - I had to ask too and yes it is a good thing. My understanding is that people respond with Bump to bump the post to the top so they can come back to it or find it on their home page.

    Sorry, all, I just saw the requests for the low carb pie crust now. I use Carbalose-- a flour substitute that I buy from Netrition.com. The recipe I follow is just 1 cup of carbalose, 1/2 cup of almond meal, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of shortening (or you can use just 3/4 cup of butter or lard if you prefer not to use shortening) and about 1/4 cup of ice cold water and prepare it like you would a traditional pie crust. :)

    We typically use kuner's (libby's as a substitute if we can't find it) and follow the recipe on the kuner's can (even if we are using libby's--we have it saved as a word document, that's how much my family loves that recipe!) and make or own crusts. We always make more than one pie, too. Maybe I'll make this one as a low cal version and do a taste test between the two? Hmm.

    Thank you for sharing!! Pumpkin pie is my favorite :)

    OH, cool! Planned to do the shopping today, but I have to add some of those to my list.
    I was going to pick up a store made one, but this is very helpful.
    And to think, all my bf's begging paid off! We can both have a Halloween treat now ;D
