2 Layer Crustless Pumpkin Pie

[idahogirl]

I hope this isn't already posted! I haven't tried it yet but its in the oven. I tried to figure out the carbs but if someone comes up with different counts please let me know!


1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1/4 C Splenda
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract


1 egg
2 egg whites
1 15 oz can pumpkin
2/3 C Splenda (see side note)
1 C whipping cream or Half and Half
3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt

How To Prepare: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray bottom of pan pie pan or 8x8 glass pan.
Combine first 4 ingredients and mix well until smooth.
Spoon into pan to make bottom layer.
Beat eggs. Add remaining ingredients. Mix.
Pour over cream cheese layer


Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
Then lower oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Bake an additional 45 minutes.

1/12 pie 3.5 net carbs
1/8 pie 5 net carbs

Side note: I read reviews on this and they stressed letting it cool completely before cutting. Also I used only 1/4 Cup Splenda in the filling per others stating it was so sweet. My carb counts are with a total 1/2 cup Splenda.

Not sure who to give credit to I got it from LowCarbFriends

It's really really good, I made that all the time the first time I did Atkins and it never stalled me - you'll love it! I'm glad to see you lowered the Splenda, with all the splenda in it as the original recipe calls for it had quite the aftertaste.

Oh my gosh this sounds fabulous! And heck, I can even count it towards my veggies. Awesome.

Re: 2 Layer Crustless Pumpkin Pie

I find these easier to make, and a lower carb count. Plus they are portioned for you - the only downside to the layered pie is the huge slices I would cut for myself lol!

I added two packets of splenda for a total of 8, and 3 tsp of pumpkin pie spice. I also used 8 dishes instead of 6.

Re: 2 Layer Crustless Pumpkin Pie

How badly do these recipes need Splenda? I'm trying to use it as minimally as possible but still wind up with asthma-type reactions. Is there another way to sweeten these up without using sugar substitutes?

Re: 2 Layer Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Terry if you make the mini ones, it just has one packet per serving - would that still trigger a problem? They really aren't overly sweet when you make the mini pies, I find the large double layer one to be VERY sweet, too splenda-y!

The reaction is almost tolerable with only 1/2 a packet. Makes you wonder what's the point of using it because the sweetness from it is barely there. In other words, if I can taste the sweetness, it's almost a certain bet there will be some reaction. Unfortunately, it still appears that any products with sucralose is going to affect me. I believe I've bought my last bottles of Joint Juice because of the reactions from that, too. (At least the bottles themselves are keepers.)

Have you tried Stevia???

[skinnymom!]

Re: 2 Layer Crustless Pumpkin Pie

That stinks! Yes, have you tried Stevia or other sweeteners?

Re: 2 Layer Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Have you tried Stevia???

Ahh-YEP! Same reactions. Irritates me because I keep buying boxes of this stuff and then keep passing them off to my sister when I get frustrated with the asthma. Just about to do it again with the latest Splenda I've purchased. I'm figuring I better hang onto it because every time I get a bug up my butt to try it again, I'm dishing out money for it...

ANYway, back to the topic at hand. Anything else besides sugar substitutes that can be used in these pumpkin recipes??

Re: 2 Layer Crustless Pumpkin Pie

mmm those recipes sound divine, I'm noting them down

Terry, that must be hard with that reaction.
Just thinking out loud, but sometimes, instead of using an artificial sweetner, I'll use a very, very tiny amount of pure Vanilla Extract and I find that sweet enough for me!

You could use like applesauce or some kinda of pulped fruit to sweeten it if you on that rung. If you use applesauce cut out abou 1-2 eggs.
