CRUSTLESS PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE PIE WITH GREEK YOGURT (LIGHT, LOWFA
I had been wanting to make cheesecake with Greek yogurt. I whipped this up tonight, making a composite of a few different recipes, including recipe #466606, which is incredible if you want a full-fat version of pumpkin cheesecake pie (made with cream cheese). I baked this in a metal pie pan; you should reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees F. if using a glass pie pan.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Have all ingredients at room temperature, but if your cream cheese or neufchatel cheese is still cold, microwave it for 15-20 seconds to soften it.
- Check your canned pumpkin: If it is very dense and stiff, scrape it into a small bowl and mash it well; then gradually add almond milk (or milk) and mix until the pumpkin is the consistency of fluffy mashed potatoes; set aside. (Even if your pumpkin is soft and fluffy to start with, it would probably help to use at least a little almond milk to impart a little creamier texture.).
- Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended and smooth.
- Add Greek yogurt and mix to incorporate.
- Add sugar and spice; beat until incorporated.
- Lightly beat one egg, add to batter and beat briefly just to combine. Repeat with remaining egg.
- Add pumpkin; beat just until incorporated and smooth.
- Spray a round 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. Pour batter into pan.
- Bake in middle of oven at 325 degrees for about 30-35 minutes, until center is almost set (the center should jiggle slightly when pan is gently shaken).
- Remove from oven and cool on a rack. When completely cool, chill for at least a few hours (or place in freezer for about 30-40 minutes).
- NOTE: You could probably substitute 7/8 cup cooked pureed pumpkin or other winter squash for the canned pumpkin.

PUMPKIN PIE WITH GREEK YOGURT
Let me start by saying I have disliked pumpkin pie my entire life, until a dear friend passed this one along to me last year. It originally called for sour cream in place of Greek yogurt, but in my bid to make it healthier, I switched it up and it works beautifully! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place a double layer of cheesecloth in a strainer over a bowl, making sure there is enough space below the strainer to contain any dripping liquid. Pour Greek yogurt into the strainer and allow to drain for 1 hour. Transfer yogurt to a large bowl; discard cheesecloth and dripping liquid.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Add pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, molasses, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves to the yogurt and beat with an electric mixer until blended. Pour pumpkin batter into cookie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until edges are firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 45 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack, and allow to cool.

GREEK PUMPKIN PIE
In Greece we make two types of pumpkin pie: sweet and savory. This is a sweet pumpkin pie. If you happen to have a can of pumpkin puree lingering in your pantry perhaps you can give it a try!

GREEK PUMPKIN AND LEEK PIE
This savory Greek pie, one of my favorites, makes a great vegetarian main dish for Thanksgiving. You can make the filling days before you assemble the pie; you can also make the whole pie ahead, wrap it well and freeze it. Like all winter squash, pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A, in the form of beta carotene, and a very good source of vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber and manganese.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil. Place the pumpkin pieces on the baking sheet, drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on top and cover tightly with foil. Place in the oven, and roast for 1 1/2 hours or until thoroughly tender. Remove from the heat, transfer to a strainer or a colander set over a bowl or in the sink, and allow to cool and drain. Turn the oven down to 375 degrees.
- Peel the cooled pumpkin, and place in a large bowl or in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Purée coarsely or mash with a fork. Stir in the herbs, nutmeg and feta. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick frying pan. Add the leeks. Cook, stirring, until tender and just beginning to color, five to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, and continue to cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from the heat, and add to the pumpkin. Beat the eggs, and stir into the pumpkin mixture.
- Brush a 10- or 12-inch tart pan or cake pan with olive oil and layer in seven sheets of phyllo dough. Place them not quite evenly atop one another, so that the edges overlap the sides of the pan all the way around. Brush each sheet with olive oil (or a mixture of olive oil and melted butter) before adding the next sheet. Fill with the pumpkin mixture, and fold the edges over. Brush the folded-over phyllo with olive oil, then layer five more sheets of dough over the top, brushing each with olive oil (or a combination of melted butter and olive oil). Crimp the edges into the sides of the pan. Pierce the top of the pie in several places with a sharp knife. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature. Recrisp the crust if necessary in a low oven for 10 to 20 minutes.
