Great simple to make dessert with no hassle. Made this with regular evaporated milk. The allspice gives this great flavor, just enough, and not overpowering. I also used eggs, rather than the egg subsitute, that's what I had on hand, and chilled for about 18 hours. The flavor was very nice, and we just loved this. Made for New Zaar Tag.

I tried this with 2 eggs. It was easy but wasn't sweet or spiced enough for my tastes. For those that like a less sweet pumpkin pie you might like this. I also didn't end up using the topping which would have added sweetness but I burned my first batch and didn't feel like doing it over again. Made for the Holiday tag game.
