Pumpkin Pie - Carnival Spa Inspiration

I've been busy posting recipes from our cruise & found in 2 cookbooks I bought on-board ship. I'm now down to the devilishly delicious desserts, but b4 we go to the *Dept of Decadence* I wanted to share a recipe from the *Spa Section of Carnival Creations* by Cyrus Marfatia that brought Annacia to mind when I read the intro -- "An extremely tasty pumpkin pie to be thankful for as it is low in calories, fat, sodium + cholesterol & is just plain incredible." This is untried, so I hope 1 of you will give it a try & testify that the intro to this easy-fix is truthful. :-)
