NO SUGAR, NO FAT, NO CHOLESTEROL PUMPKIN PIE
Usual, not-healthy pumpkin pie recipes call for 3/4 cup sugar, 2 -3 eggs (yolks!), and 1 12-oz can of innocent-sounding evaporated milk. Yikes. One 12-oz can of fat free evaporated milk has 45 g carbs, which quickly break down to 12 tsp sugar (that's a candy bar). Then there's the lardy, sugary, floury pie crust. This healthy, high protein recipe serves 8 at 112 calories per serving, including the no sugar Healthy crust. (Make the crust first.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine the first four ingredients in a small bowl.
- Stir pumpkin into skillet & heat slowly.
- Add the egg whites and cheese, stirring until cheese starts to melt. (If the eggs start to cook, remove from heat for a bit.).
- Mix in the Splenda and spice.
- Mix egg replacer well with the water, add.
- Stir whole mixture, pour into crust.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Reduce temperature to 350, bake 15-20 more minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- The cheese is what "binds." Blended with the egg whites, the two substitute beautifully for the not-healthy evaporated milk. (Fat free, nice, but as much sugar as a candy bar.) And you needn't bake at such high temps for so long, because you're not waiting for sugar to melt, egg yolks to cook - and you've already heated your ingredients.

Tips:
- For a flaky crust: Use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Avoid overmixing the dough, as this will make the crust tough.
- To prevent a soggy bottom: Preheat the oven and baking sheet before adding the pie. You can also blind-bake the crust for a few minutes before filling it.
- For a smooth filling: Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin until it is completely smooth. This will help prevent lumps in the pie.
- To avoid a runny filling: Make sure to cook the pie filling until it has thickened. You can check this by inserting a knife into the center of the pie. If the knife comes out clean, the pie is done.
- For a perfectly browned crust: Brush the crust with milk or cream before baking. This will help it to brown evenly.
