Low Fat Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Low Fat Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Fiona Haynes
Most of the fat in pumpkin pie is in the crust. Here's a great no-crust, no-bake pumpkin pie without all the fat. This makes a great low fat option for Thanksgiving.

Prep Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes

Cook Time: 4 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours, 19 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 1-ounce envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 2 cups fat-free evaporated milk, divided
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:

Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, sprinkle gelatin in water. Leave to stand for 5 minutes.

Pour 1 cup of fat-free evaporated milk into a small saucepan and heat until almost boiling. Remove from heat and whisk into gelatin. Don’t worry if it the gelatin has hardened, the hot milk will liquefy it. Stir in remaining cup of evaporated milk, sugar, canned pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.

Pour pumpkin mixture into pie plate. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Serves 8.

Great for someone Gluten Intolerant, Member Rebekah_Lynn27

Made it for my brother who can't eat Gluten. I did have to modify the recipe as my brother is also lactose intolerant as well. I just had to boil some Non-Lactose milk and have it evaporate to the required two cups that is needed for the recipe but other than that it's wonderful that my brother can eat pie during the holidays again.
