[idahogirl]

I hope this isn't already posted! I haven't tried it yet but its in the oven. I tried to figure out the carbs but if someone comes up with different counts please let me know!


1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1/4 C Splenda
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract


1 egg
2 egg whites
1 15 oz can pumpkin
2/3 C Splenda (see side note)
1 C whipping cream or Half and Half
3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt

How To Prepare: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray bottom of pan pie pan or 8x8 glass pan.
Combine first 4 ingredients and mix well until smooth.
Spoon into pan to make bottom layer.
Beat eggs. Add remaining ingredients. Mix.
Pour over cream cheese layer


Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
Then lower oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Bake an additional 45 minutes.

1/12 pie 3.5 net carbs
1/8 pie 5 net carbs

Side note: I read reviews on this and they stressed letting it cool completely before cutting. Also I used only 1/4 Cup Splenda in the filling per others stating it was so sweet. My carb counts are with a total 1/2 cup Splenda.

Not sure who to give credit to I got it from LowCarbFriends

It's really really good, I made that all the time the first time I did Atkins and it never stalled me - you'll love it! I'm glad to see you lowered the Splenda, with all the splenda in it as the original recipe calls for it had quite the aftertaste.

That sounds so good.. Do you have any pictures???

I love pumpkin pie.. I'll have to print the recipe so I can have it.

Oh my gosh this sounds fabulous! And heck, I can even count it towards my veggies. Awesome.

I find these easier to make, and a lower carb count. Plus they are portioned for you - the only downside to the layered pie is the huge slices I would cut for myself lol!

I added two packets of splenda for a total of 8, and 3 tsp of pumpkin pie spice. I also used 8 dishes instead of 6.

How badly do these recipes need Splenda? I'm trying to use it as minimally as possible but still wind up with asthma-type reactions. Is there another way to sweeten these up without using sugar substitutes?

Terry if you make the mini ones, it just has one packet per serving - would that still trigger a problem? They really aren't overly sweet when you make the mini pies, I find the large double layer one to be VERY sweet, too splenda-y!

The reaction is almost tolerable with only 1/2 a packet. Makes you wonder what's the point of using it because the sweetness from it is barely there. In other words, if I can taste the sweetness, it's almost a certain bet there will be some reaction. Unfortunately, it still appears that any products with sucralose is going to affect me. I believe I've bought my last bottles of Joint Juice because of the reactions from that, too. (At least the bottles themselves are keepers.)
