Weight Watchers Pumpkin Pie with Graham Cracker Crust
3 POINTS per serving
Ingredients
- 3 oz. reduced-fat cinnamon graham crackers, about 5 1/2 sheets
- 1 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. table salt
- 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice, or less to taste
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
- 4 Tbsp. light whipped topping
Instructions
- Position rack in middle of oven.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Place graham crackers and light brown sugar in a food processor and process into crumbs (or smash into crumbs in a sealed plastic food bag with a rolling pin).
- Spoon crumbs into a small bowl; add melted butter and combine with fingers into a coarse meal. Distribute crumbs evenly on bottom and up sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie plate.

- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whip egg whites until frothy; fold in egg, dark brown sugar, salt, pumpkin pie spice and evaporated milk. Beat pumpkin custard until smooth and pour into pie shell.
- Bake until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 to 55 minutes.
- Slice into eight pieces, top each piece with 1/2 tablespoon of whipped topping and serve warm or at room temperature. Yields one slice per serving.
