Fresh Pumpkin Pie!

This is one of the very best recipes I've made in a while! Everyone loved it, and no one knew it was sugar free/fat free until I told them! Fresh Pumpkin Pie Cut a small pumpkin in half (I used a pumpkin sold for pie making) Scoop out seeds, etc. Bake cut side down at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cool and scoop cooked pumpkin out. Step 2 - Combine the baked and cooled pumpkin (1-2 cups), 1 1/2 cups fat free evaporated milk, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoon Splenda brown sugar blend, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ginger, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, 1/4 tsp. ground cloves (or 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice in place of all spices). Blend all in blender or mix in a bowl. Step 3 - Pour into a 9" pie crust and bake for 1 hour (or until firm in the center). Cool and enjoy! I topped everyone's slice with sugar free cool whip. Jan

Sounds awesome....can;t wait to try (for my hubby that is I am only 10 days post op). Thanks for sharing!

Your welcome Melissa! I don't eat the crust at all hubby enjoys that, and I eat maybe 1/4 of a regular slice ... I scoop out the pumpkin and enjoy it totally! I think by Thanksgiving you should be able to try the insides, as it's very soft. Best wishes to you! Jan

Sounds really good, however, Splenda Brown Sugar Blend has sugar in it and I dump on it and it affects my blood sugar. I am going to try this recipe it a little differently. You can make your own brown sugar made completely by regular Splenda (so no sugar) by mixing 1/4 cup sugar-free pancake syrup and one cup Splenda granular. This equals 1 cup brown sugar. Put in mixing bowl and mix well. We got this information directly from the Splenda company. For everyone's information, they told us how to make Splenda powdered sugar, too. You take 3/4 cup Splenda Granular and two tablespoons cornstarch. Mix in a blender until it becomes a very fine powder. Oh, the sugar free cool whip is sweetened with corn syrup, which also affects me like sugar does (dump and raise blood sugar). I was so excited and bought some when it first came out. I just ate a tablespoon and was sick the rest of the evening. Kathy
