Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 15 oz canned pumpkin
  • 2 tbsp whipped butter softened
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar unpacked
  • 0.5 cup fat-free milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 0.5 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 frozen pie crust sheet Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust thawed to room temperature

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Lightly dust a large cutting board or flat surface with flour. Roll out a room temperature pie crust sheet so that it becomes thin enough to cut off about 30%, resulting in a final crust of 5 oz.
  3. Place the thinned crust into a 9-inch pie dish, cutting off excess dough.
  4. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree and softened butter. Mix well.
  5. Using an electric mixer, mix in brown sugar, milk, eggs, egg whites, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust. Bake for about 70 to 75 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cut into 10 slices and serve with whipped coconut cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

This lighter version of pumpkin pie is perfect for a healthier holiday treat. The thinner crust and reduced sugar make it a guilt-free indulgence.
