Answer 1

Pumpkin Custards
This pumpkin pie flavored dessert is not only delicious but low in calories.
Servings: 4

• 2 egg whites, slightly beaten
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 3/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
• Dash salt
• Fat-free or light frozen whipped dessert topping, thawed (optional)

In a medium mixing bowl combine the egg whites, pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and salt. Place four 6 ounce custard cups or ramekins in a shallow baking pan. Pour pumpkin mixture into the cups. Place the baking pan containing the cups on oven rack. Pour boiling water around custard cups in baking pan to a depth of 1 inch.

Bake in a 325 degree F. oven about 40 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the centers comes out clean. Remove custard cups from water. Cool slightly on a wire rack. (Or cool completely in cups. Cover and chill until serving time.) If desired, garnish with whipped dessert topping.

Make Ahead Tip: Prepare and bake custards as directed. Cool, cover, and chill up to 24 hours. Serve chilled and, if desired, garnish with whipped topping.

Yes, I love it when they start having fall flavors and scents. I love pumpkin candles, I love the cool weather, I love the leaves, I love the fall festival that my hometown holds, I love having soup and sandwiches for supper....I just love everything about fall. And I get soooo giddy when I can feel it getting close. <---warm happy feeling. Last week we had an unusually cool couple of days, and I was getting super excited because it felt like fall.

Answer 9

I think you should make them all,and maybe freeze them, as I also love pumpkin lover and would like to eat them all. Can I come to your house?

Answer 10

Pumpkin Muffins! Make small ones that you can pop in your mouth. I find that we eat less of them that. Even though they are smaller, you still had one muffin!
