Lite 'n Easy Crustless Pumpkin Pie (Diabetic)

Submitted by Annacia

"I put this into custard cups because it's made without a crust and simply mixed and refrigerated until firm. It's not very sweet so you might want to add some Splenda if you like a sweeter taste. I used caramel flavoring in place of the vanilla and pecan halves in place of the raspberries."

Very, very good. Did not miss a regular pumpkin pie at all. Only pitfall was little bits of gelatin within the dessert. I think this was my fault. I think next time I'd only let the gelatin sit for no more than 5 minutes and mix really well (I let it sit for the 10 minutes). Will make again for sure though!

This was absolutely wonderful. Just asked my dietitian about "holiday fare"... she said 'eat the custard only, no pastry'. Well! This fits my diabetic requirements WITHOUT all the fat, sugar and other carbs. Thanks for this treat!

Very good and easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly as written and we all loved it. I don't like crust anyway- so this was perfect for me!

I can't believe I didn't miss the crust or fat! I used fat free evaporated milk which worked fine, canned pumpkin (my store didn't have puree) and 3/4 cup brown sugar since my husband has a sweet tooth and we're more worried about fat than sugar. Thanks for a great recipe.
