Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie

This is low-carb or sugar-free (or gluten-free), and people love it. For full impact make it with the pecan crust listed below.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

1 15 oz can pumpkin
2 eggs
2/3 cup unsweetened soy milk (or milk or cream - milk has more carbs, so adjust)
1/3 cup cream
1 C sugar equivalent from artificial sweetener
1 teaspoon dark molasses (optional)
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 scant teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch cloves
1/4 t salt

Preparation:
As an artificial sweetener, I prefer a form of liquid sucralose, as powdered types have more carbs and sometimes an off-taste.

1) Preheat oven to 425 F. (important)

2) Dump all the ingredients into a food processor or blender and whirl to blend.

3) Pour into the crust.

4) Put the pie in the oven and immediately turn the oven down to 375 F. In 15 minutes, turn the oven down to 300 F. (This cooks the crust, so it isn't soggy, but then allows the custard to bake more slowly.) Bake until almost set in the middle, about 30 to 40 minutes more. If it starts to crack a bit around the edges, it's probably done.

5) Cool and serve with whipped cream (the real stuff, made with vanilla and sweetener). How To Make Homemade Whipped Cream

This is very good, it could use some veggies and more seasoning though. I put ketsup on my serving and it gave it more flavor. Others have suggested taco seasoning and peas and carrots. It's a great basic recipe just adjust as needed but don't forget to recalculate the points for added ingredients. :)
