Receta Layered Pumpkin Pudding Pie (easily converts to a lighter version)
A change-of-pace pumpkin pie recipe for the holidays with the bonus - it can be made a day ahead of the feast. This recipe is easy to adapt to a reduced calorie version, which will be appreciated by those who want or need a lighter dessert. Here are some suggested substitutions: non-fat or lowfat dairy products; sugar-free pudding mix; reduced calorie graham cracker crust; sugar substitute sweetener. Making these changes results in one slice of pie (1/8 pie) providing 149 calories; 18 grams carbohydrate; 7.4 grams fat; 3 grams protein. Pretty decent reductions for a creamy pudding pie!
