  • another pumpkin pie recipe ;-)

    Here's the one I made on Sunday. I modified a few things to make it Atkins friendly.

    Pumpkin Cheesecake

    Crust:
    4 cups almond flour
    2 tbs water
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 cup butter, softened (not melted)
    2 Tbs Splenda (to mix)
    2 Tbs Splenda (to sprinke over crust)


    Filling:
    4 eight-ounce packages of cream cheese, softened
    1.5 cups of brown Sugar Twin
    1/4 cup Splenda
    5 eggs
    1 sixteen-ounce can pumpkin
    2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    1 Tbs bourbon liqueor (optional)
    1-2 Tbs sugar-free maple syrup

    Crust: Mix the crust ingredients. When adding butter add it gradually- if the mix becomes moist enough, omit the rest of the butter. Press the almond mix into 2 pie tins. This is a bit tricky, it helps to do it in parts because you can't roll the almond mix. I did this a few tablespoons at a time.

    Bake the crusts at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes, allow to cool. Sprinkle Splenda over the crusts on the bottom and sides. You can sprinkle more than 2 tbs, if you like.

    Filling: Soften the cream cheese in the microwave (about 50% for 2 minutes, or until softened). Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs one at at time, beating well after each addition. Add pumpkin pie spice; then gradually add in canned pumpkin, and beat well.

    Gradually add brown sugar twin and Splenda. Add bourbon, if using. Mix well. You can use 2 cups instead of 1.5 of brown sugar twin, if you like sweeter cheesecake.

    Pour filling into 2 almond pie crusts.

    Bake in preheated oven at 325 degrees for 1 hour, 30 minutes or until center feels firm to the touch.

    Brush cheesecake tops with the sugar free-maple syrup. Chill completely.

    p.s. sorry, I don't have the carb count for this.

    Re: another pumpkin pie recipe ;-)

    looks good you can calculate your recipes on fitday by moving your calander ahead a day and entering all the ingredients the daily total will bne your total pie. then enter it as a custom food and delete the foods so you will not get a surprize total tomorrow. or you can use www.recipecal.com but as of March they didn't have Splenda just artificial sweetner
