Best Recipes for Fall
When it comes to planning desserts for fall...pumpkin is first and foremost on my ingredients list. And whether you're cooking for people who are watching their weight or a variety of folks, its always a good idea to have several recipes on your go-to list.
One of our favorite non-diet friendly pumpkin pie is our Copycat Cheesecake Factory Pumpkin Cheesecake. It's amazing! And, while it is most definitely not on the Smart Points scale, enjoying a tiny bite while making this favorite for family and friends is a tiny treat.
Weight Watcher's Recipes We LOVE
While it's fun to indulge in a tiny taste of a decadent dessert, its' even more pleasurable to be able to enjoy an entire meal that is made with Weight Watchers in mind.
Some of our favorite meals are Weight Watchers Hamburger Stroganoff, Weight Watchers Chili, Weight Watchers Hash Brown Casserole and Chicken Pot Pie Weight Watchers.
And finishing any of those meals off with a nice slice of our Weight Watcher's Pumpkin Pie would be a treat.
LESSONS IN CRUSTLESS PIE-OLOGY
So perhaps the most imperative aspect of this dish, is the cake pan you bake it in. Preferably dark and non-stick, this will allow a longer bake time and easier removal.
You'll also find it helpful, if you invest in a flexible pie server as well.
Having the essential pie serving tools on hand makes life so much easier when you're trying to serve up dessert. I don't know how many times I've searched and searched in my kitchen drawers for a pie server to no avail. And, it's not that I don't have one...it's just that it handily disappeared just when I needed it most!
Kitchen utensils have a way of disappearing in my house.

PUMPKIN TO LOVE ALL YEAR LONG
So just what makes this pumpkin pie worth smiling about all year long?
The taste!
When you whip this together your not going to be using the pre-spiced pumpkin pie mix. You'll be utilizing the real pumpkin...aka real fruit.
Weight Watcher Recipes Points
From there you'll add a sugar substitute and have control over the spices used.
I for one have always favored pumpkin pies that had more authentic taste like using real pumpkin does.
Making this a wonderful (and traditional) Weight Watchers Pumpkin Pie dessert to start with for the Weight Watchers program. Especially as you get to add a big dollop of fat free Cool Whip!

Now how do you love using pumpkin all year long?
Pumpkin doesn't just have to be for fall, but it sure is fun to cook it up when the weather starts to cool and fresh pumpkins start showing up at both grocery stores and fall markets alike.
One of our favorite fall activities has always been to go to a farm to pick pumpkins. That is such a fun activity to do with the kids--even when they are older. It's a fun, family outing that is full of memory making moments that will stand the test of time.
And memories are to be cherished. Cooking as a family is another great way to make memories, and have great conversations.

Nutrition
Nutrition details are an estimate, per serving.
Sandy says
Can't have splenda what else can I use for sugar substitute
Jessica McCoy says
You could try using any of the other sugar substitutes that are in the baking aisle. I haven't tried it with them, but should have similar results!
Trish Howeth says
What size baking pan was used?
Jessica McCoy says
Just use a regular size pie dish.
Pauls says
Still a little confused. There are different size of pie pans and I have never seen a square one like your pics? Also is this 1 smart point? 1 point plus? Or the original plan from several years ago that would be called 1 point?
Looks delicious I just don't want to miss calculate my points ?
Jessica McCoy says
Thanks for the question. I've updated the post, but it is 1.4 Smart Points based on 8 servings.
We used a square baking dish.
Erin says
When I put all the ingredients in it came up to be 2 points per serving.
Terri Carlson says
What is the Smart Points value?
Jessica McCoy says
Thanks for the question. I've updated the post, but it is 1.4 Smart Points based on 8 servings.
Amy says
What size square baking dish? I'm assuming 8x8, but want to make sure before I make it. Thank you for the recipe, sounds delish!
Jessica McCoy says
Yes, 8x8! Enjoy!
Faith says
Can I substitute evaporated milk with almond milk? I can not stomach dairy.
Jessica McCoy says
I haven't tried that, but would love to hear how it works.
Denise says
Could the 2 eggs be substituted for the same measurement with 2 liquid eggs?
Jessica McCoy says
Yes! You could definitely do that.
Essie says
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I ended up subbing swerve for Splenda and skim milk for the evaporated milk because that’s what I had on hand. It turned out great and when I plugged everything in it is only 2 pts for the whole pan. I cut it into 6 servings and it’s 0 points a serving! Awesome find and I will be making again: thanks again!!!
jennifer makoski says
is this zero points now on freestyle? Pumpkin and eggs are now zero points.
Jessica McCoy says
That sounds fantastic! I need to find someone to calculate freestyle points on all my recipes. 😉
Marissa Curry says
It's 1 point on freestyle when I put it into the ww app. 🙂
Debbie says
What type of Spenda did you use? Packets, granulated or sugar blend? Thank you!
Jessica McCoy says
Packets. Thanks!
Janine says
I use Stevia instead of splenda. Healthier for you. So in Stevia packets I know that 3 packets = 1 tablespoon. I buy Stevia in bag form for baking.
Kim says
If you substitute the Splenda with stevia, how much should you use?
Ana says
The flavors were excellent. I substituted egg beaters and
I used almond milk. It was a little sweet so I’m going to try using less Splenda next time. I will definitely make this again.
Connie Dingus says
I am going to try this, do you know how many carbs per serving? I have brown sugar splenda, will that work?
Jessica McCoy says
That will work. The carbs are listed in the nutritional info at the bottom of the recipe.
Ursula says
I’m going to try this
