Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Splenda granular, sugar substitute
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin pie filling
  • 1/2 cup pasteurized liquid egg-whites
  • 1/2 cup pre-shredded fat free mozzarella cheese
  • 4 teaspoons egg substitute
  • 6 tablespoons warm water

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine the first four ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Stir pumpkin into skillet & heat slowly.
  • Add the egg whites and cheese, stirring until cheese starts to melt. (If the eggs start to cook, remove from heat for a bit.).
  • Mix in the Splenda and spice.
  • Mix egg replacer well with the water, add.
  • Stir whole mixture, pour into crust.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce temperature to 350, bake 15-20 more minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • The cheese is what "binds." Blended with the egg whites, the two substitute beautifully for the not-healthy evaporated milk. (Fat free, nice, but as much sugar as a candy bar.) And you needn't bake at such high temps for so long, because you're not waiting for sugar to melt, egg yolks to cook - and you've already heated your ingredients.
