I love making desserts. And by modifying the recipes to reduce the fat, our family can enjoy them more often. You'd never guess this trimmed-down tart, with its homemade pecan crust and creamy filling, is light. -Kate Gaudry, La Jolla, California

I'm not usually a fan of sweet potato pie, but this tart was amazing! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and golden brown.
