“I wanted to create a lightened version of this classic pie, so I cut back on the sugar and added vanilla and bourbon to increase flavor without adding fat.” Diana Rios - Lytle, Texas

2 egg whites
1 egg
1-3/4 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup reduced-fat butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 reduced-fat graham cracker crust (8 inches)
1/2 cup fat-free whipped topping
