Ingredients

  • 3 ounces cinnamon graham crackers, reduced fat
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup light whipped topping

Method

  • * Position rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • * Place graham crackers and light brown sugar in a food processor; process into crumbs (or smash into crumbs in a sealed plastic food bag with a rolling pin). Spoon crumbs into a small bowl; add melted butter and combine with fingers into a coarse meal. Distribute crumbs evenly on bottom and up sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Chill for 30 minutes before baking. Bake until crust starts to turn golden, about 8 to 10 minutes; remove from oven and let cool.
  • * Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whip egg whites until frothy; fold in egg, dark brown sugar, salt, pumpkin pie spice, canned pumpkin and evaporated milk. Beat pumpkin custard until smooth and pour into pie shell. Bake until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 to 55 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces, top each piece with 1/2 tablespoon of whipped topping and serve warm or at room temperature. Yields 1 slice per serving.
