When I think about Thanksgiving at my grandma’s house, her pumpkin pie is always a must for me.  I mean, I’m not even sure we can be friends if you don’t love pumpkin pie! Ok, of course I’m kidding, but seriously, I just LOVE pumpkin pie!

And I love pumpkin pie so much that I’ll make it pretty much any time of the year.  And most of the time, I make it without the crust.  My kids prefer it without the crust and it’s a little “lighter” without the flaky, buttery crust.  I can pretty much convince myself that it’s healthy because pumpkin is a vegetable, so I’m just “getting my veggies in”…..right?!

Ingredients Needed

• Pumpkin – NOT Pumpkin Pie Mix….just the plain ‘ol pumpkin puree
• Evaporated Milk
• Brown Sugar – Light or Dark will work great
• Sugar
• Eggs – I always use “large” eggs
• Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Salt
• Vanilla

Is Crustless Pumpkin Pie Healthy?

Well, I suppose it depends what you classify as “healthy.” It’s certainly a lighter version than a classic pumpkin pie with crust. And it’s got lots of pumpkin (a veggie!) in the mixture, so bonus points for all that Vitamin A you’re getting!

If you’re concerned about your sugar intake, you can cut down on the sugar by swapping the white sugar out for Stevia (or other sugar replacer). Lastly, you can certainly skip the whipped cream topping or opt for a “light” whipped topping if you wish to do so!
