I guess I will throw my hat in the ring. LOL I just finished this recipe and it was very good...even warm! That says something because I have never liked my pumpkin pie warm. Gotta love pumpkin though
UPSIDE DOWN PUMPKIN PIE
Pie ingredients
1 ½ cups pumpkin (or 15 ounce can) (4 net for ½ cup serving = 12 carbs)
3 eggs (my Egg Land’s Best say 0)
¾ cup Xylitol or 36 drops of FTS Zero
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon (.7 )
¼ tsp. cloves (.68)
½ tsp. ginger (.99 net for 1 tsp. so .5)
¾ cup of Heavy whipping cream (0)
Top crust
1 oz. or ¼ cup pecans (1.23)
1 oz. or ¼ cup walnuts (1.99)
2 tsp. cinnamon xylitol mixture (1 ½ tsp. xylitol ½ tsp. cinnamon) (.5)
Topping
1 cup Heavy whipping cream (0)
2 tbs. Sugar free Torani Brown sugar and cinnamon syrup (0) (or whatever flavor you like. You can also make it easy and use the canned stuff)
Instructions
1. Whip eggs together
2. Mix in xylitol, pumpkin and heavy whipping cream
3. Add in spices and mix well
4. Spray a pie plate with cooking spray or use ramekins to make individual servings like I did
5. Poor batter in dish or divide between dishes and place inside larger dish. Place water inside outer dish to create a water bath.
6. To make top crust- chop nuts and mix together with xylitol mixture. Place in oven at 375 for about 8-10 minutes to create a glazed nut mixture. (watch close and stir so they don’t burn)
7. Sprinkle nuts over top of pie and bake at 425 for the first 15 minutes then turn down to 350 for 40- 50 minutes. Until a knife inserted comes out clean.
8. For topping whip Heavy whipping cream with syrup until peaks form. Chill until ready to serve.
For those of you that don’t like very sweet you might consider not making the nuts sweet. Maybe roasting them with a little butter and cinnamon instead. (I plan to try that next time) I made six individual ramekins. I ran all the ingredients that didn't already have a count listed through the USDA National Nutrient Database here
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ It comes out to 17.6 net carbs for the whole recipe so mine came out to 2.93 net for 6 deserts or 2.2 for 8.
Everyone keep creating!!! I can see a yummy holiday coming
I added the pictures Smiley You can see that I didn't chop the nuts that well...LOL Next time I will chop them smaller so that they will be spread out better....
I'm adding a new picture of the upside down pumpkin pie..... these Suz and I made today and they came out much better with the smaller chopped nuts. Very good....
