Country Life 🏡Making Sweets with Pumpkin

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.

In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, and spices.

Add eggs and mix until well combined.

Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract until smooth.

Fit the pie crust into a pie dish and pour the pumpkin mixture into the crust.
