This is a recipe I got off of the internet... Don't remember where, it was a couple years ago. But I make it every year for Thanksgiving! It is VERY good!!!
Crustless Pumpkin Custard
3 cups water (24 oz)
6 scoops sugar-free vanilla whey (with 2 net carbs per scoop)
1/2 tsp stevia powder (or equivalent sweetening using splenda, but not as low carb)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
4 eggs
1 large can pumpkin (29 oz), or two small cans pumpkin (15 oz each) This is not pie mix, you want just plain pumpkin!
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to mix the water and vanilla whey powder until throughly blended. Add the stevia, salt, and spice, then blend with the electric mixer again. Add the eggs and pumpkin, mix thoroughly. Pour into two greased 9" pie plates, one oblong pan (11" x 7"), or any shallow baking dish with equivalent capacity. Bake at 425F for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 and bake an additional 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
You may need to adjust the amount of stevia to make it sweeter, as I prefer things to be less sweet and adjust my recipes accordingly. When adjusting the amount of sweetener, be sure to remember that the sugar free whey already has a lot of sweetener in it, so you're just trying to make up the difference between that amount, and what would have been in the original pumpkin pie recipe.
Using the 2 carb per scoop whey and stevia (no crust), the entire recipe has 45 g net carbs (including all the eggs and spices), plus 35 g fiber. If you cut it into 12 servings (the equivalent of 1/6 pie per serving), that's only about 3.78 carbs per serving. If you use splenda instead of the stevia, or add a crust, you'll need to figure on more carbs per serving, of course.
