Crustless Pumpkin Pie
Traditional pastry crusts are loaded with fat, which makes pumpkin pie a rare treat for people watching their diet. This is a satisfying treat for everyone.—Thelia Busse, Cresco, Pennsylvania

Has anyone tried this with almond or cashew milk and 2 whole eggs instead of the egg substitutes and whites?
LOVE THIS CRUSTLESS PUMPKIN THE BEST??????????---- it tastes NO DIF making with SPLENDA--vs sugar- taste is great! I've actually made it both ways--- but because both my parents are diabetics & everyone else is watching their weight- I just make the lower calorie one no one knows it's LOW CALORIE unless I tell them! AWESOME TASTE!!!??
This pumpkin pie recipe without a crust is such an awesome concept. My husband has been on a low fat diet for the last number of years. That traditionally makes pie an absolute No-No. I found this recipe about the time he was put on the diet. I use the traditional Libby's pumpkin pie recipe spices listed on the can as opposed to what is recommended here. Aside from that, I compose the recipe just as recommended. It makes the most beautiful pumpkin pie ever. I published it in a newsletter that we sent out through our business. It was tried by one of our readers who also concurred how delicious it is. My children and all our guests love this pie, and the old crusted version is history!
What a delight! As a diabetic, this was perfect. My family loved it too! My husband was on cloud nine because he didn't have to deal with a crust! (he hates pie crust) This has been added as a permanent addition to my recipes! Thank you! I discovered, as a side note, that you can use hubbard squash as a great substitute to pumpkin. I also used 4 eggs instead of substitute and skipped the egg whites. Yum!
Love this recipe! I will definitely be making this for the holidays!
can the egg substitute & egg whites be eliminated and just use how many eggs?? I would love to try this as I really am not a crust person when it comes to pie!!
luvsvacations the first line says: In a large bowl, beat the first nine ingredients until well blended. Stir in cracker crumbs.
I was wndering what you did with the graham cracker crumbs - does it go in the pie mixture - it calls for the first 9 ingredients and that is the 10th item. thanks
Everyone loved it even those who were not diabetics
I have made this a number of times. It is popular with my family. Since pumpkin pie is a custard filling, once it is well set it doesn't need the crust to hold it together. Who'd have thought?!
