Two delicious, simple desserts

[Guest guest]

I have recently made two new delicious desserts, very simple to make.

#1 Crustless Pumpkin Pie

29 OZ can of pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie mix)

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ginger

2 12 oz cans skim evaporated milk

sucralose to taste

2 eggs

This recipe is on every can of Libby's pure pumpkin (except that I have found that 2 eggs works as well as the 4 that they recommend).

Beat the eggs. Mix the pumpkin with the seasonings. Add the beaten eggs. Mix the milk a small amount at a time into the mixture. Pour into a greased large baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 450, then lower to 350 for another 1/2 hour or til knife inserted comes at clean.

This recipe is rich in both Beta Carotene and the elusive Vit D (because of the milk) and should be a good addition during the sunless winter months.

#2 Recipe

Crustless Cannoli

Fat free Ricotta cheese (60 cal per 1/4 cup serving)

Cocoa powder

sucralose

guar/water mixture or small amount of skim milk.

Mix cheese and seasonings to taste. Use enough guar or milk to make the texture creamy. Add a little at a time til you get the texture desired.

Alternately I made this with vanilla instead of cocoa and that version was delicious as well. (It was late at night and I didn't want to risk the caffeine in the cocoa keeping me from sleeping)
