The Pumpkin Dessert That’s Easier Than Pie (and Way More Addictive)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener, while brown sugar adds moisture.

pumpkin puree

🥗Healthier: butternut squash puree

💰Cheaper: canned pumpkin

Butternut squash is a nutritious alternative, while canned pumpkin is often less expensive.

pie crust

🥗Healthier: almond flour crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Almond flour crust is gluten-free, while store-bought saves time.

Mix pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves in a mixing bowl.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks; fold the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture for lift.

Add dry bread crumbs to the mixture to gain body.

Pour in whole milk and mix until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake until set.
