Re: Pumpkin Cream Pie recipe

[Guest guest]

I made a really awesome pie awhile back.

Beth in TX

No-Bake Pumpkin Cream Pie

3 c. Splenda

2 8 oz. pkg cream cheese, softened

1 stick (1/4 lb) butter

2 Tbs vanilla (I used vanilla Davinci syrup)

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 29 oz can pumpkin

3/4 c. heavy cream

Beat everything but pumpkin until fluffy, then beat in pumpkin until well blended. Spoon into buttered pie plate or nut crust (I like pecan/coconut crusts best) and refrigerate 6 hours.

How much Splenda do you use if you have the packets of Splenda and not the granular?

--Is that 3 cups of splenda???? do you have a recipe for the nut

crust also????

3 cups of splenda would be 72 packets. That sounds like a Lot of splenda to me. It's like a half a carb per packet at least that is what I remember Terry saying in a previous post. So the splenda alone would be 41 grams of carbs if that's true. Of course there are like 8 pieces in a cream pie so that would make it 5.1 carbs per slice for the splenda anyway.

One packet equals 2 teaspoons of Splenda, so 24 packets equals the sweetness

of 1 cup of Splenda, and 3 x 24 is 72, so in order to get 3 cups worth of

sweetness from Splenda packets, you would indeed need to use 72 packets. 72

packets will not measure 3 cups in volume however.

Well I dont know if 72 packets was wrong but that's what I used. It tastes fine to me.....not overly sweet and not underly sweet if that makes sense. This recipe made enough to fill up 2 pie pans so someone posted that the recipe had 140 carbs in it so if you half that that is 70 per pie (at least of mine) and then I cut each pie into 8 slices so that is 8.75 carbs per slice. I dont think that's too bad.....not for me anyway, I'm staying between 20-30 carbs per day.

I noticed someone mentioned 3 cups Splenda would be 72 packets. Excuse me

but I think the packets and the bulk measure very differently. If it says 3

cups that is the bulk Splenda which has fluffers in it to make it measure

the equivalent of sugar. Don't put 3 cups of packet filler into your pie.

72 packets is correct. It does not measure out to be 3 cups.

[Guest guest]

No Annie, I used 72 packets which is the equivalent.
