Pumpkin Coach Pie - Holiday Dessert Recipes for Dieters

So simple that even a Fairy Godmother can prepare without a wand. Simply purchase ready-made dough and fill with the following ingredients. Bake in a preheated oven at 350-degrees for about 40 minutes - or until done. Be sure to cover the edges of the pie crust with tin foil that has been sprayed with a thin layer of cooking spray. The cooking spray will prevent the foil from sticking to the crust and the foil will prevent the crust from over-browning.

Although Splenda is a key ingredient in keeping this pumpkin pie low in calories, if you prefer sugar decrease to 3/4 cup. Keep in mind that sugar contains 800 calories per cup. Splenda is preferred over other sugar substitutes for baking because it can stand up against heat while retaining sweetness.

You will need the following ingredients for this diet-wise recipe:

1 small can of pumpkin

1 cup (or less depending upon your level of preferred sweetness) of Splenda

1 can of skim cream (generally found in the coffee isle)

1 Tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice

1 Tablespoon of ground cinnamon

2 eggs, slightly beaten

Dash of salt

1 prepared pie crust

Mix all the ingredients except the pie crust. You'll want to bake the pie in that! To reduce the calories in a prepared pie crust, remove thawed dough from its foil pan and roll out into a thinner dough. Use the dough to create another pie.
