Mini Pumpkin Pies Recipes

I found this recipe in Mixingbowl.com

Individual sized pumpkin pies made with fat free cream cheese, these treats are perfect for any fall occasion.

So easy and tastey you won't even miss the crust and hundreds of extra calories that come with it.

Pumpkin pie off the label of Libby's substituted Madhava Coconut (Palm) Sugar. Leaves the flavor of the pumpkin with a slight sweetness. Adds a little brown sugar taste.

If you make this recipe with granulated sugar the nutrition facts are about the same within about 10 cal. The difference is the GI of palm sugar and the absence of the crust.

Halloween Treats for the Young and Old

I adapted this recipe to be lower fat and less calories than one I found online, and made them in a muffin tin for portion control. The only thing I didn't reduce was the eggs, but that was just so the pies could have that complete protein. If you're watching fat or cholestoral, feel free to substitute 6 egg whites! I chose phyllo dough for its natural lightness while remaining flaky and delicious.

These may seem very cupcake-like, but they're still best enjoyed with a fork as they will be quite soft inside! Serve plain or with some low fat whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a special treat.
