I’m in charge of the refrigerated sweets case at my workplace & therefore have to come up with seasonal recipes to keep the case full….enter Pumpkin Cream Pie! While I was working on it, I KNEW I had to come up with a healthy version of it since my sample bit was SO tasty!
I tested one version, but ended up adding WAY TOO MUCH pumpkin & ended up with a sweet pumpkin soup….I put off to the side, but with Thanksgiving coming up, I knew I had to get it out and try again to ensure there was an on plan dessert for me!
I made it earlier this week & shared a picture on the main Trim Healthy Mama group on Facebook….I was BLOWN away by the amount of comments, reactions & YES, RECIPE PLEASE ASAP’s! I gave up trying to respond to them all!
SO here you go….(It’s the only photo I have of it, as it was a last minute photoshoot with my phone!)

I tested this recipe in mini pie pans…so I halved the entire recipe & pressed the crust into 4 mini pie/tart pans.
I like doing things a little on the fancy side, so I piped the whipped cream using an open star tip (my favorite!) & piping bag, but you’re certainly welcome to just plop it on however it suits your fancy!
Yes, this pie is MOST DEFINETLY a heavy S, but….if it helps me stay on plan through the holidays, I’m EATING HEAVY S pies!
