Number of Servings: 3

Ingredients

    1/2 cup egg whites
    1/2 cup canned pumpkin
    1/2 cup low fat ricotta cheese (should have 50 calories per 1/4 cup serving)
    Splenda to taste (I used probably 1 tbsp)
    Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and ground Ginger to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl until frothy. Add the pumpkin and ricotta and beat until well mixed. Add remaining ingredients and mix again. Spoon into three 3/4 cup ramekin dishes, approximately 1/2 cup in each dish.
Bake until set, about 20 minutes. (They will not get overly firm.) Serve warm or cool.
Makes 3 1/2 cup servings. Top with crystallized ginger, a whipped topping, or additional cinnamon and spices if desired.

    I've made it several times as written; today I made it with unsweetened granny smith applesauce rather than pumpkin, using the same spices, and it came out great! - 1/17/15

    I used fresh ground nutmeg and ginger as the only seasons. The ricotta helps if you usually have texture issues with custards. It's super filling. Probably a good dessert if you're diet and/or exercise is leaving you a tad hungry. - 10/14/13

    Pretty good. I made it with Stevia instead of Splenda, and added extra nutmeg and cinnamon. It makes a nice snack and is pretty filling. - 2/19/11

    I made it this morning. Perfect for a cool, fall morning. I'm always looking for extra ways to add protein to my day and this was perfect. Low in calories and delicious too! - 10/31/10
