LIGHT PUMPKIN PIE WITH AN INDIAN TWIST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Combine garam masala, ginger, cinnamon, and sugar in a small bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar and spices, and egg substitute.
• Slowly mix in skim milk.
• Pour pumpkin filling into the ready-made pie crust.
• Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then lower heat to 350°F for 45-60 minutes. The pie is done when a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean.

LIGHT AND CREAMY PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Mix the first 7 ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Add the eggs, then the two milks and mix well.
• Pour into an unbaked pie shell.
• Bake at 450' for 10 minutes and then 350' for 25-30 minutes until a knife comes out clean.

GARAM MASALA PUMPKIN TART

Steps:

• Place flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/3 of the lemon zest in a food processor and pulse to blend. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons water. Pulse until mixture comes together. If necessary, add a little more water. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a smooth disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 12 1/2 inches in diameter. Fit dough into an 11-inch straight-sided loose-bottom tart pan without stretching it, pressing the dough into the sides of the pan. Trim excess dough. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line pastry with foil, then fill with pastry weights or dry beans. Bake 8 minutes. Remove foil and weights and bake 4 to 6 minutes longer. Remove from oven and set aside on a cooling rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients, including the rest of the lemon zest and the salt. Whisk until thoroughly blended. Place pastry-lined tart pan on a baking sheet. Pour in filling. Bake 40 to 50 minutes until almost set - it will jiggle just a little in the center. Allow to cool at least 30 minutes before removing the outside of the pan. Serve at room temperature, with whipped cream or frozen yogurt if desired.
