I substituted Splenda for sugar. Results were mouthwatering. I like this better than any other pumpkin desert I've ever tried. Good consistency, marvelous mixture of tastes, and an all-around pleasurable comfort food.

Perfect for diabetics!!!

My husband and I were diagnosed with borderline type 2 diabetes. We've been watching our carb intake eversince but I have been worried about baking my mom's pumpkin pie's for the holidays. This recipe is so similar but without all the sugar and pie crust. Thank you, Mary Alice Dick!!!
