Crustless Pumpkin Pie and other fabulous holiday recipes
 

Ok, so I really tried to put this under the recipe thread, but it won't let me delete the post now. So I'm just going to go with it. How many other holiday recipes can we put up here?




1 15 oz can pumpkin
1/2 c egg beaters
1 1/2 c skim milk
1/2 t salt
3/4 c Splenda
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Beat all till smooth. Pour into Pam-sprayed pie plate. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes, then at 375 for 45 minutes.

Whole pie = 4 points
No, this isn't a typo! :) The whole pie is really 4 points

Pumkin Bars
 

Pumpkin Bars
Makes 16 bars

1 cup lowfat graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp. light butter, melted
4 egg whites
15 oz. can solid pumpkin
14 oz. can fat-free sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp. powdered sugar
1.5 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 cup fat-free whipped topping (optional)
Nonstick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray an 8x8-inch cake pan or baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the graham cracker crumbs and butter and mix well. The crumbs should almost stick together. Pour into prepared baking dish. Using waxed paper, press crumbs to evenly cover bottom of dish. Set dish aside.

In a large bowl, lightly beat egg whites. Add pumpkin and condensed milk, and mix well. Add remaining ingredients except whipped topping, mixing until well combined. Pour mixture over crust and bake 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, then slice into bars. Serve with fat-free whipped topping, if desired.

NOTE: * I couldn't find FF condensed milk, so I uses the regular kind
I also used a 13x9 size baking dish - the cooking time worked out perfectly for it!
