Weight Watchers Pumpkin Pie
Servings: 8
WW Points: Approximately 3-4 points per slice (using regular WW ingredients and the standard 8-inch pie)
Ingredients:
- Crust:
- 1 package of Reduced-Fat Graham Crackers (about 10 crackers)
- 1 tbsp light butter (or use a butter alternative)
- 1 tbsp sugar (or use a sugar substitute like stevia if you prefer)
- Filling:
- 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup egg substitute or 2 large egg whites (for fewer points)
- 1/2 cup non-fat evaporated milk (or unsweetened almond milk for a lighter version)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or sugar substitute, depending on your preference)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the crust:
- Crush the graham crackers in a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely ground.
- Melt the light butter in the microwave or on the stove, and mix it with the crushed graham crackers and sugar.
- Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a pie dish to form the crust, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- Prepare the filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg substitute (or egg whites), evaporated milk, sugar (or sugar substitute), vanilla, and all the spices.
- Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Assemble the pie:
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the cooled graham cracker crust.
- Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the pie completely on a wire rack before serving.
Serving Tips:
- Top with a dollop of light whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor without adding too many points.
