Re: Thanksgiving Menu | | This looks good too! Ya'll are making me hungry now that I am out here scouring the web for recipes! http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/recipes/recipe-cake08.html Ingredients for Pie Shell: - 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup Splenda
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Ingredients for Pumpkin Filling: - 1 can Pumpkin (not "Pie Filling")
- 1/2 cup Splenda
- 3 tablespoons Diabetisweet Brown Sugar Substitute
- 2 Eggs, beaten slightly
- 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon Ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Cardamom or Allspice (optional)
Prepare pie shell: Melt butter in a small bowl. Add almond flour and Splenda. Mix well. Press firmly into bottom and up sides of 8 or 9 inch pie plate and refrigerate until firm.
Preheat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix all filling ingredients in the order given. Use your own judgement about spices — some like a more cinnamon-y mix and others like less. This is your call, but amounts listed result in a rich, aromatic "classic" mix."
Pour mixture into prepared pie shell and place in preheated oven until center tests done (about 45-55 minutes — ovens vary.) Allow to cool completely before serving.
This pie must be kept refrigerated (there's no sugar to act as a preservative), but this pie is amazingly delicious!! Top with artificially sweetened real whipped cream if you like (I do!) This pie is at its best the 2nd day!
Makes 8 servings. 8 net carbs per serving.
