I make the filling just as you would for a pie except I add and extra egg, then I cook it like you would a baked custard, we serve it cool or cold with alittle whipped cream, the light kind and we get the wonderful flavor and texture of pumpkin pie without the pie crust which if not good for heart patients.

I never added the extra egg, but I do cook the pumpkin pie filling in custard cups. I do it with other things as well. The crust is the part that makes us fat.

Pat-
That sounds wonderful! I love my pie with whipped topping, but I shall have to try adding the extra egg! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.

This sounds delicious, Pat. A great alternative holiday or winter dessert for those watching their health. Pumpkin is good food, actually :)
Thank you for sharing this.
