" Healthy" Pumpkin Pie

Submitted by Wishing Barbie

"I made up this recipe and whipped it up the night before Thanksgiving, it was great! It's about as healthy as a pie can possibly be! Only problem was that my crust was soggy, but the packaging gave a suggestion to that, which I have included to keep yours from going soggy. plus it's delicious, low-fat and sugar-free. What more could you ask for in a pie?!"

Amazing. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I used 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon cloves. Really great straight from the oven.
