I am trying this recipe myself this Thanksgiving. I got it from hungry-girl.com Hopefully it's good.

Ingredients:

For Crust
2 cups Fiber One bran cereal (original)
1/4 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown); melted & mixed with 1 oz. water
3 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
1 tsp. cinnamon

For Filling
One 15-oz. can pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
One 12-oz. can evaporated fat-free milk
3/4 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters)
1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
Optional Topping: Fat Free Reddi-wip

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Combine crumbs with all other crust ingredients. Stir until mixed well. In an oven-safe 9-inch pie dish sprayed lightly with nonstick spray, evenly distribute mixture, using your hands or a flat utensil to firmly press and form the crust. Press it into the edges and up along the sides of the dish. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the filling. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie crust. (Filling may be taller than the crust -- trust us, this is okay!) Bake pie in the oven for 45 minutes, and then remove it and allow to cool. Chill in the fridge for several hours (for best results, chill overnight). Cut into 8 slices, and if you like, top with Reddi-wip before serving! MAKES 8 SERVINGS

I made this "Impossible Pumpkin Pie" last T-giving and it was a hit. I made two, one sugar free (sweetened with xylitol, a low-glycemic natural sweetener) and one with the brown sugar. It's really easy! Works best if you use a pyrex baking dish.

How about homemade applesauce, served warm, perhaps with a bit of fat free whipped cream?

I make WW recipes for dessert all the time and no one can tell they are WW recipes. I don't think I can post them here though... any mods know the answer to that? :?:

Sure, post away.

POINTS Value: 3

Serve these rich, creamy bars with a hot cup of mulled cider for a perfect holiday treat. Bake and refrigerate for up to three days before serving.

Ingredients
1 sprays cooking spray
9 whole reduced-fat cinnamon graham crackers
3 Tbsp butter
16 oz fat-free cream cheese
1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3 large egg(s)
1 cup canned pumpkin

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Coat a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or line bottom of pan with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can use a 9 X 13-inch nonstick pan.

Grind graham crackers until fine in a food processor or place crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush with rolling pin. Place crumbs in a small bowl.

Melt butter on stove top or in microwave and pour over graham cracker crumbs. Mix with a fork until completely moistened.

Press crumbs evenly into bottom of prepared pan and place in refrigerator while preparing pumpkin filling.

Place cream cheese in bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar and mix until incorporated.

Mix in 1 cup of sour cream until just combined and then add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Add remaining sour cream and mix until just combined.

Slowly beat in each egg one at a time until incorporated, and then mix in pumpkin. (Note: For best results, all ingredients should be at room temperature and mixed as little as possible, until each ingredient is just combined.)

Pour pumpkin mixture into prepared pan, spread evenly throughout and smooth top.

Bake until set at edges, about 30 minutes. (Note: The very center will be a little loose.) Cool completely and refrigerate overnight before cutting into 18 pieces and serving.

I tried to keep the pumpkin theme going on there, but I have lots of other dessert recipes too like a coffee flavored pudding and cool whip pie, etc. If you can think of anything you'd like to make with a specific ingredient, I can look up some recipes!

I'm not a pumpkin pie fan, so we always have at least one other type of dessert. My mother makes this every year and it's so good. This is the original recipe, but mom just uses sugar free jello and sugar free, fat free Cool Whip, and uses Splenda in place of the sugar. You can also use strawberries and strawberry sf jello instead of raspberry.

RED RASPBERRY PRETZEL DESSERT

2 c. crushed pretzels
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. melted butter
1 2/3 c. Cool Whip
1 c. sugar
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
2 (3 oz.) pkgs. raspberry gelatin
2 c. pineapple juice, heated
16 oz. pkg. frozen raspberries

Mix pretzels, 1 tablespoon sugar and butter. Press into greased 13"x9" pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes. Cool.
Mix Cool Whip, sugar and cream cheese. Spread mixture over pretzel mix. Chill until firm.

Dissolve gelatin in hot juice. Add raspberries. Pour gelatin mixture over cream cheese layer. Chill.

kaplods 11-14-2007 06:07 PM

Oops, and fat free or low fat cream cheese instead of full fat. She also uses water instead of the pineapple juice.
