Pumpkin Spice Pie Recipe

This pie has half the fat of regular pumpkin pie. Add pumpkin itself is a nutritional plus --- like most members of the squash family, it's loaded with vitamin A (as beta-carotene).

 

Ingredients:

1 cup 1% lowfat cottage cheese

1 1/4 cups canned solid-pack pumpkin

2/3 cup egg substitute or 1 large whole egg plus 4 large egg whites

1/3 cup light or dark corn syrup

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 baked Easy Flaky Pastry

lowfat frozen yogurt (optional)

 

Method:

Preheat oven to 400o. Process cottage cheese, pumpkin, egg substitute, corn syrup, sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract in an electric blender until smooth. Pour into pastry shell; bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325o and continue baking 25 to 30 minutes or until pie is just set. Let cool on a wire rack; serve at room temperature or chilled with frozen yogurt, if desired.
