Pumpkin Treat - Induction Friendly

[Autumnstarz]

I find this to be a quick little treat, low carb, and induction friendly.

Mix the following together:

1/2 Cup Libby's Pure Pumpkin (NOT pie filling which has sugar)
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream
1/4 Teaspoon pumpkin spice
1 Packet of Splenda

Heat in the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir. Heat another 15 seconds. Yummy. (Note - heating times may vary slightly depending on microwave)

I put the extra pumpkin from the can in a bowl in the fridge for my next use.

Sounds delicious, but I don't think pumpkin is on the acceptable list for induction because it has Libbys has 15 carbs per half cup. But you can bet Im going to try it for Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing

Your welcome. It is pretty good. I hope you enjoy it.

Pumpkin is on the induction list of acceptable foods. I was excited about that as it added another dimension to what I can have. It is under the other veggies that we are allowed one cup per day of if we cut our salad veggies to 2 cups.

The Libby's canned Pumpkin that I buy is 100% pure pumpkin. The label lists pumpkin as the only ingredient. There are 9 carbs per half cup with 5 grams of fiber. So, the Net Carbs for a half cup of the pumpkin would be 4. Of course, then add on 1 more carb if you add Splenda.

I have bought the 100% pure pumpkin at Super Walmart and at Kroger. Just be careful and not pick up the wrong can because it is sitting right next to the pumpkin pie filling which would be a big carb no-no for us.

Oh I'm glad I came across this. With only one week down in induction I was looking for "something" last night. I took 1/2 cup of pumpkin, added in pumpkin pie spice and heated up in microwave. I topped with whipped creme. It was great!!!

I"m so excited about this! We grow pie pumpkins and I might have to go out today and pick some more to make this as a treat. Then I'll freeze some up for later in the season when I need a "quick dessert fix"

Ok this is DELICIOUS!! I must say it is heaven right now and majorly curing my sweet tooth. PS I added 1 tbsp cream cheese to mine. YUM

bummer that I dont like pumpkin. I wonder what else I can use instead of pumpkin and add the same ingrediants?

[FairLady23]

I loved this dessert! I tried all the pumpkin with cream cheese recipes and i can never get them sweet enough without that after taste but this was PERFECT!!!
