“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

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

In a large bowl, whisk the the first seven ingredients until blended. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves; gradually beat into pumpkin mixture until blended. Pour into crust.
