    Pumpkin Pie - Induction or not?

    I found this recipe for crustless pumpkin pie on Linda's low carb recipe site. But it doesn't have the little star that she uses to make it induction friendly. What am I missing that makes it not legal for induction?




    CRUSTLESS PUMPKIN PIE
    15 ounce can pumpkin
    2 eggs
    1/2 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
    1/4 cup caramel or vanilla sugar free syrup
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1/4 cup water or 1/4 cup heavy cream
    1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt (see comment below)
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ginger
    1/4 teaspoon cloves

    Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl; beat well with electric mixer. Pour into a buttered 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350ยบ 45-55 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on rack, then chill well before serving. Serve with whipped cream, if desired. Makes 8 servings.

    I would imagine it's either the splenda or the heavy cream. You are only allowed 3 servings of splenda (3g) per day, and you are only allowed 1-2tbsp of heavy cream. I'm not that great with figuring tbsp to fractions of cups, but that's PROBABLY why it's not for induction--each piece probably is over your daily allowance for those things, especially adding in the flavored syrup.

      all the sweetner

      you got
      24 teaspoons of splenda
      12 teaspoons of syrup so for an 1/8th of the pie you got 3 t of slenda and 1.5 of syrup and have exceeded your induction sweetner limits.

        Thanks - I knew there must be a reason I was missing. I'm going to keep looking until I find some pumpkin recipes though. I love it this time of year especially.

              What I usually make is not like a "pie" but more like a warm "pudding." Take a can of pumpkin (or you can do it by serving--it's easier to make a bigger batch though) and heat it on the stove, low-med heat. Add 4 oz of cream cheese (you could add less, but I like the consistency and flavor of it) 1tbsp of cinnamon, and stevia, if you like. Heat until the cheese melts. This makes 4 servings of about 6 carbs each, I believe...

                              If you use the liquid splenda, It would not be as bad for induction.
