Pumpkin Recipes Wanted, Please

Pre-Atkins, I would buy canned Pumpkin to make Pumpkin pie. Obviously eggs and sugar go into the Pumpkin Pie recipe.

What else can we do with canned pumpkin on Atkins Induction? Unfortunately I can't get into the recipes ... something on the site isn't working correctly.

Holiday Pumpkin Pie

Pie Shell:
1/2 Cup almond flour
1/4 Cup macadamia nut flour
1/4 Cup pecan meal
1/4 Cup Splenda
pkt Sweet-N-Low (mixing sweeteners gives a sweeter, synergistic effect!)
4 Tbsp butter - melted


Pumpkin Filling:
1 can Pumpkin (not "Pie Filling" - it has sugar!)
1/2 Cup Splenda
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar Twin
2 Eggs - beaten slightly
3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Use high quality unsweetened!)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Cloves
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/8 tsp Ginger
1/2 tsp Allspice (optional)

Prepare pie shell: Melt butter in a small bowl. Add ground nuts and sweetener. Mix well.Press firmly into bottom and up sides of 8 or 9 inch pie plate and refrigerate until firm.

Preheat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix all filling ingredients in the order given.. You can adjust sweetness to your own taste Pour mixture into prepared pie shell and place in preheated oven until center tests done (about 45-55 minutes - ovens vary.) Allow to cool completely before serving.

This pie must be kept refrigerated. This pie is at its best the 2nd day!

Makes 8 servings. 8 net carbs per serving including crust :icondance
I made this at Thanksgiving and didn't even put a crust under it and it was delicious, with real whipped cream topping. :yikes

Pumpkin Aloo

1 can pumpkin
onions
garlic
curry powder - 2 teaspoons
oil
salt to taste
salted cod fish (optional)

Fry the onoins and galic in a little oil, put in the curry power and stir until the flavour is released and the oil is absorbed. Add the pumpkin, mix well and simmer for 5 minutes.

If you have access to salted cod fish (available in West Indian stores) then you can add some of it hand shredded. Add it just after the curry power and before putting in the pumpkin.

To prepare the salted cod fish you will have to soak it for a hour or two, take out the bones and shred. Or if in a hurry, boil for about 30mins then take out the bones and shred.

If using the salted cod then omit the salt ! Enjoy!
