I thoroughly believe that you should enjoy delicious food for your holiday gatherings with family and friends. However, if I can make a healthier version of one of my favorites to save a few calories here and there (or just use those calories to eat more of something else!) and have it taste just as good, well I’m going to do that too!

Here’s a perfect example of that. This dessert is tasty enough to bring to the table without your guests knowing the difference! Also, I use a pre-bought pie crust because time is more valuable with family and friends than spending all day in the kitchen. So, celebrate and be grateful for all your blessings while enjoying a slice (or two) of this delicious pumpkin pie.

 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (15oz) can pumpkin purée
• 2/3 cup coconut cream
• 2/3 cup granulated sweetener (if you like sweet, add a bit more)
• 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 4 large egg whites, room temperature & lightly beaten
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• low fat graham cracker crust

 

PREPARATION

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

• In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, coconut cream, sweetener, yogurt, egg whites, egg, vanilla extract, pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.

• Use a hand beater to mix until a smooth consistency is formed. Pour into prepared crust tin.

• Put in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

• Reduce heat to 350 F and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out squeaky clean.

• Remove from oven and allow to completely cool on a wire rack, at least 2 hours. Serve as is or with a dollop of light whipped cream. Enjoy!
