South Beach Pumpkin Pie image

Tastes exactly like the real thing! I miss my sweets, and I got to thinking, you can have everything in pumpkin pie except the cream, sugar, and crust. All of those ingredients are very easy to substitute for, and tada--delicious pumpkin pie on the south beach diet, phases 1-3! I actually normally made my pumpkin pies this way, with real sugar instead of Splenda. Pumpkin isn't listed in the book anywhere, but its a squash like zucchini so its OK (or you could make a zucchini pie, or butternut, or crook neck or... I think I'll stick with pumpkin:)

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 ounce) can plain pumpkin or 2 cups fresh pumpkin puree
1/2 cup Splenda granular
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 eggs, blended
2/3 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1 low-fat whole wheat tortilla (omit during phase 1)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°.
  • Combine the eggs, milk, and pumpkin in a mixing bowl. Add the Splenda, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon.
  • Grease a 9 inch pie plate, and place tortilla in bottom to act as crust -or- just grease an 8x8-inch Pyrex pan (I prefer it without the crust.).
  • Pour pumpkin mixture into pan, and bake for 45-50 minutes till a knife comes out clean.
  • Delicious cold or hot. You can make 'mock' whipped cream by whipping a little bit of the leftover evaporated milk with some Splenda, but it's not the same as the real stuff.
