I'm sorry, but I really had problems with this pie. I think it was the cornstarch, which I normally don't see in PP recipes. My pie did not solidify, even after I baked it an extra 30 minutes than directed. I cooled it and tried to cut it this morning and it just was a mess. It tasted fine, but was just not appealing enough to serve to guests. I put it in the freezer for a later day and started over. I ended up borrowing a can of pumpkin from a neighbor and making the regular Libby's recipe.

I can't believe I have neglected to rate this recipe! It is probably my favorite dessert recipe of all time. I made it with a graham cracker crust for Thanksgiving, and I could have eaten the whole thing myself! I've used this since I found it on the Libby's website, but thank you so much for posting it here. Delicious; you really cannot tell that it is "lite!"

I love pumpkin pie so much! So, every once in awhile I'll get a strong craving for it, and eat the whole thing in 5 minutes. Well, that was today! Except, I made it crustless, preparing it in a 2 quart baking dish. Also, I used Splenda (for baking)- probably closer to 1 cup. Otherwise, everything was the same, and it was perfect! When it was time to bake it at 350 degrees, I had it in for about 35 minutes. Based on how the pie looked when it was done, I was a little unsure if it had turned out. The top of it looked hard and there was a lot of liquid bubbling around the sides. But, by the time it had cooled for 2 hours and had been in the fridge for awhile (I like it cold), it was great. So yes, this was good! It satisfied my craving! Also, I've made crustless pumpkin pie before- following the regular Libby's recipe but having used 2 egg whites and 1 egg, Splenda, and fat free evaporated milk. But today, I only had 2 eggs left! So this recipe saved me (It using only 2 egg whites!) Thanks!
