In reply to Carri. Some people are sensitive to Stevia and it taste bitter. My husband is one.

This was my first time making pumpkin pie. I followed the recipe with a couple tweaks and loved the result. Thank you for sharing this recipe! (Tweaks made: subbed stevia with 5 tbsp maple syrup since I didn’t have stevia; also cut out cookies from the extra pie dough and baked them with the pie for 12 minutes – made for a nice crisp pie topping!)

In reply to Kruti. Hope so! I've not tried an egg replacement but once cooked and chilled I think it will set.

Hi Brenda,

Awesome recipe! Excited to try:) So you think it’ll still hold if I use an egg replacer for the 4 eggs? As well as subbing Almond milk?

I made this for Thanksgiving 2016 and it was perfect! I used a pre-made crust and whole milk instead. I made one pie with 1 tsp vanilla stevia and another pie with 2 tsp granualed stevia mixed with 2 tsp vanilla extract and the pie with 1 tsp vanilla stevia was sweeter and better in my opinion. Thank you so much for this recipe. It is going to be my Thanksgiving go-to pumpkin pie from now on!

In reply to Brenda. Have you ever made this recipe with coconut milk instead of regular milk? My mom can't have much sugar or dairy so I'm searching for a good alternative that she can have for thanksgiving!

In reply to Theresa. yes leave out the vanilla extract and I'm not sure if you should use 1 cup splenda, maybe try 3/4 cup and taste it to see if it's sweet enough.

My daughter cannot have stevia, can I use splenda? I found a conversation chart saying 1 tsp stevia is equivalent to 1 cup of sugar. Can I just convert that amount to splenda? Also I plan on using almond unsweetened vanilla milk, so I assume I should leave the vanilla extract out.

Would egg whites work instead of whole eggs?

ps – I couldn’t find vanilla stevia, so I just used regular – it worked quite well, I think.

In reply to Carri. Did you prepare my crust recipe before, was it partially baked? What kind of sweetener brand did you use?

In reply to Carri.

Ok, so here’s my verdict on my “deep dish” pumpkin pie: it was HORRENDOUS! IT had no flavor except bitterness and the crust was hard.(and I didn’t over handle it). I dont’ know what could have gone wrong. I didn’t know a pumpkin Pie could go so wrong! I threw the rest away, which was 3/4 of it. I was so bummed! I’m still baffled. HOW could it have no flavor? And why was the crust so UNLIKE crust, hard like a brick? And after all my trouble trying to make a sugar free pie, my husband ate a sugar laden apple pie someone else brought on Thanksgiving. I give up!
