Low-Calorie Pumpkin Pie? Nothing Says 'Autumn' Quite Like This Sweet Treat
When pumpkins come into season, it's time to make the most of all they have to offer. Savoury and sweet dishes can benefit from their mellow sweet flavour. It's not just pumpkins... squashes of all varieties can be used here (if you can't find a pumpkin, butternut squash can be used instead).
Pumpkin pie is traditionally a calorie-laden US classic dessert, but made with Lo-Dough and using our method, the calories are slashed, with non of the flavour being sacrificed. Indeed, we've saved you so many calories, you could treat yourself to a nice blob of cream on the side...
