With the fall season coming in, there were bright colorful pumpkins everywhere. I have been wanting to experiment with pies for a long time so the first choice--pumpkin pie. I did want to buy a whole pumpkin and make my own puree. As I did not have other pumpkin recipes in hand, I went with the store bought canned pumpkin--Libby's 100% pure pumpkin puree.
Ingredients:
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup light whipped topping
- 9 inch pie crust--reduced fat graham cracker crust
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
Method:
- Position the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degree F
- Whip egg whites until frothy, fold in egg, dark brown sugar, salt, pumpkin spice, canned pumpkin and evaporated milk
- Beat the pumpkin custard until smooth and pour into pie shell
- Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45-55 minutes
- Slice into 8 pieces and top each slice with 1/2 tbsp of whipped topping
