Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin (about 1 3/4c)
8 ounces skim milk (has a slight taste) or 8 ounces low-fat soymilk (has a slight taste)
3 egg whites
2/3 reduced fat graham cracker crust (take off the sides of the crust and discard)
3/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
pumpkin pie spice
2 egg whites, for the crust

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Mix pumpkin, milk, and egg whites until smooth.
  • Gradually stir in Splenda (1/4 cup at a time).
  • Add the pumpkin pie spice; taste and add more if need be.
  • Pour into crust** and spread evenly.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 45 minutes (may vary depending on ovens).
  • Let cool and serve your favorite way.
  • **To make to crust less likely to turn soggy (like mine), beat some egg whites and brush over the crust and bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a flaky pie crust: Use a food processor to combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Then, add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • To prevent a soggy bottom: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) before baking the pie. This will help to create a crispy crust. You can also blind-bake the pie crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • For a smooth pumpkin filling: Make sure to puree the pumpkin until it is very smooth. You can also strain the filling through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
  • To prevent the pie from cracking: Let the pie cool completely before cutting into it. This will help to prevent the filling from cracking.
  • For a decorative pie: Use a pastry brush to brush the edges of the pie crust with milk before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust. You can also use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the remaining pie dough and place them on top of the pie before baking.
