WOW! This sounds scrumptious! I'm going to try to modify it to meet more "Weight Watchery" standards (which I don't think should be too difficult!) Thanks for the recipe!!

Wow, Karen=^..^=, thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I’ve never made pumpkin pie before (it’s a very American thing, after all) but this was indeed an impossibly easy pie to make, and so wonderfully quick to make. It was scrumptious, so scrumptious in fact that – because I’m currently on the Healthy for the Holidays Challenge II – after sampling a piece, I left what was left of it after five of us had enjoyed a piece, at my parents’ place for them to enjoy! They loved it too, except that the 85 year old grumpikins, who is at his happiest when he is complaining, said he’d prefer it “without the nuts”. He still ate them, however! My mother and two friends who had dropped in and I all l-o-v-e-d the pecans! I had to improvise several ingredients because they just aren’t readily available here. I made the pie using Lali’s Bisquick Clone Recipe #12648 and home-cooked mashed pumpkin and the pumpkin pie spice mix on Zaar. For the topping, I whipped some low fat ricotta with the extra pumpkin pie spice. I also used a low fat evaporated milk, so maybe I could have eaten a second slice. I’m going to make this again for Christmas Day!
