Helpful hints
- Substitute one 9" prepared graham cracker pie crust instead of the spring form pan and homemade graham cracker crust.
- To reduce fat and cholesterol content substitute 1/2 cup low cholesterol egg product for 2 whole eggs.
- Be sure to use canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix.
- Portions are small due to calorie, fat and sodium content.
- Top each piece of pie with whipped topping before serving if desired.
