MONA'S LIGHTER PUMPKIN PIE
This is a reduced-fat and very low sugar pumpkin pie that my diabetic husband loves. It has a nice texture and isn't too sweet. Those who prefer a sweeter-tasting pie may want to increase the amount of sugar substitute blend that's used. Remember the brown sugar blend does have sugar, so diabetics will need to watch how much is added.

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then blending it until smooth, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
- Add a little bit of spice to the pie filling. Pumpkin pie spice is a classic choice, but you can also use cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or allspice.
- Don't overbake the pie. The pie should be set in the center, but it should still have a slight jiggle to it.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the pie to set and firm up.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious and creamy topping to the pie.
