Pumpkin Pie

  • 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups canned pumpkin, no salt added
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 6 egg whites
  • 3/4 cup skim milk
  • 1/4 cup trans fat free margarine, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚.

    In a large mixing bowl, mix ingredients for filling with a hand mixer.

    Pour filling into crust and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350˚ and bake for another 40 to 50 minutes (a knife stuck into the center should come out dry). Place pie on a wire rack and cool to room temperature. Cut into 8 slices.
