Light Pumpkin Pie
Thanksgiving isn’t complete without pumpkin pie, but a traditional slice can run 300+ calories thanks to heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. This lighter custard uses low-fat milk, eggs, and a modest amount of maple syrup, spiced generously so each bite tastes rich. At 180 calories per slice, you can have your pie and your goals too.
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated 9-inch pie crust (or homemade)
- 15 oz pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate; crimp the edges.
- Whisk the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl until completely smooth.
- Pour the filling into the crust.
- Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes to set the crust.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake 35-40 minutes until the center is just set with a slight jiggle.
- Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely at room temperature, at least 2 hours.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice into 8 even wedges.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of light whipped topping.
