I fixed this for Thanksgiving and it turned out pretty well. Even the ones who weren't on a diet that tried it liked it. There's only 2 things I plan to change when I make this again next year. #1 I think it needs some cinnamon. #2 I think I may add a little more Splenda.
*Note: This recipe makes two 9-inch pies.
Filling Ingredients:
16 oz cream cheese
1.5 c Splenda
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp allspice
6 eggs
29 oz pure pumpkin (NOT pie filling)
Crust Ingredients:
1.5 c crushed pecans
1 egg
half a stick of butter
Make crust first: Dump nuts, butter and egg in a bowl and mix. Spread and press into pie plates. Freeze or frigerate until butter hardens again.
Then make filling: Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until creamy. Add salt, spices and Splenda. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add pumpkin and vanilla. Pour into pie plates. Bake for 45 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Chill.
Nutritional Info for 1/8th of pie: Calories 287, Fat 26g, Cholesterol 150mg, Sodium 364mg, Potassium 114mg, Carbs 11g, Fiber 3g, Protein 7g.
So that makes it only 8 net carbs. I actually cut a 1/16th slice of pie which drops it to 4 net carbs.
