πŸ”ͺ Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl: pumpkin, eggs, milk, spices, salt, and sweetener. Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour mixture into a non-stick or lightly greased pie dish.
Bake at 400Β°F for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350Β°F and bake for an additional 35–40 minutes.
Cool completely before slicing. Refrigerate for firmer texture.
πŸ’‘ Notes:
This pie is naturally gluten-free and crustlessβ€”ideal for low-carb or WW-friendly diets.
Using 3 packets of Splenda instead of β…“ cup works just fine and reduces the sweetness slightly (but still tastes amazing!).
Eat it warm or chilledβ€”it’s great both ways.
Want a bit more indulgence? Add a spoonful of light whipped cream (adjust WW points accordingly).
Why You’ll Love This Pie
Quick to make, insanely low in points, and tastes just like fall in a bite. I make this crustless pumpkin pie every 4 daysβ€”yes, it’s that guilt-free. No crust, no sugar, no problem. Whether you’re on WW (Weight Watchers), eating low-carb, or just craving pumpkin season flavors on repeat, this pie is the one.
Confession: I usually don’t even share it… I just slice it up and keep it in the fridge for whenever the craving hits.
πŸ₯„ Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
Step 1: Prep and Preheat
Start by preheating your oven to 400Β°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish (or use a nonstick one for easiest cleanup).
Tip: If you’re using glass or ceramic, be sure it’s oven-safe at high heat.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, combine:
1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix!)
4 eggs (lightly beaten)
Β½ cup skim milk
Β½ tsp salt
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Β½ tsp cinnamon
Splenda to taste (β…“ cup or 3 packets)
Whisk everything together until smooth and lump-free.
Tip: For an ultra-smooth texture, you can blend the mixture in a blender or food processorβ€”but hand-whisking is totally fine.
Step 3: Bake It Right
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie dish.
Bake at 400Β°F for 15 minutes.
Then reduce the oven to 350Β°F and bake for another 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Tip: If the edges start browning too much, loosely cover the pie with foil during the last 10 minutes.
Step 4: Cool and Chill
Let the pie cool at room temperature for about 30–60 minutes. Then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour for a firmer texture.
πŸ§‚ Ingredient Breakdown & Substitution Tips
Pumpkin (Not Pie Filling): Use 100% pure pumpkin (Libby’s or store-brand). Pumpkin pie filling contains sugar and spicesβ€”don’t use that!
Eggs: Four eggs provide structure and richness. For a lower-cholesterol option, try using 2 whole eggs + 4 egg whites.
Skim Milk: Keeps it low-fat. You can substitute with unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or any plant-based milk (adjust WW points if needed).
Splenda: Original recipe calls for β…“ cup, but 3 packets are enough for a milder sweetness. Feel free to sub in monk fruit sweetener or stevia.
Spices: Customize! Want more spice? Add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves.
πŸ₯§ Variations & Serving Suggestions
Flavor Variations:
Add 1 tsp vanilla extract for warmth.
Stir in 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate-pumpkin twist.
Top with a sprinkle of crushed pecans (adds crunch, but will affect points).
Dietary Variations:
Dairy-Free: Use a plant-based milk.
Keto-Friendly: Swap milk with heavy cream and use erythritol as sweetener.
Vegetarian: Already is!
Serving Ideas:
Top with light whipped cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Dust with extra cinnamon before serving.
Serve alongside coffee or chai for cozy vibes.

❀️ My Story Behind This Recipe
Honestly, this recipe started as a diet hack. I was craving something cozy, comforting, and pumpkin-y… but didn’t want to blow through my WW points in one slice of pie. So I played around until I found the perfect balance: rich pumpkin flavor, classic spices, and just enough sweetnessβ€”with only 4 points for the whole pie. Now, it’s my go-to. I make it every 4 days. No shame.
And the best part? It doesn’t feel like a β€œdiet” dessert. It’s just delicious.
