Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Prepare a 9-inch graham cracker crust according to package directions or homemade recipe, then bake for 10 minutes.
-
In a large bowl, combine 16 oz canned pumpkin, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, and sugar substitute. Mix until smooth.
-
Stir in 12 oz evaporated skim milk and any additional pudding mix ingredients if using, ensuring a consistent batter.
-
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pre-baked crust and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
-
While the pie bakes, soften 4 oz Neufchatel lite cream cheese. Beat until smooth and creamy.
-
Fold in thawed Cool Whip Lite or whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture for a light, airy texture.
-
Once the pumpkin layer is baked and slightly cooled, spread the cream cheese topping evenly over the top.
-
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set firmly before slicing.
