If you are looking for the world's best pumpkin pie, this isn't it. It is however a great sugarless pumpkin pie. The texture is much lighter and fluffier than regular pumpkin pie -almost more like a heavy mousse than a custard. (I assume this has to do with using powdered milk rather than condensed milk which you can't use if you want the pie to be sugar-free.) As another reviewer mentioned the pie is not very sweet. This is true, but I kinda like that. I'd rather have the sweetness come from the whipped cream. The flavor is going to depend very heavily on what pumpkin spice blend you use. The recipe I used (from Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book) was a little too stong on the ginger and maybe the nutmeg for such a light pie: 1tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp nutmeg. I also grated the fresh nutmeg over the top of the pie as the recipe directs but I found this to be too strong especially as nutmeg is rather bitter by itself and this isn't a very sweet pie. I will leave it off next time. Overall this pie was pretty good. I made two for a work party that had more than enough pumpkin pie and one of the pies disappeared entirely with only good things about it. I may try a recipe that uses evaporated milk next time to see how it compares. However, since I had none on hand this time this recipe was perfect for me!

i bet it tasted better the second time. the secret is sugar twin for baking. splenda is great in cold drinks like lemonade. but terrible for baking. even if you follow baking the adjustments listed on the package (add flour, baking powder, etc.) it's still got that aftertaste. so this year's pumpkin pie will definately be with sugar twin.

I thought this was bland. I will not make this again.

I made this with Splenda and thought the consistancy was very similar to real pumpkin pie. I've made it twice now. I'm still using 1/3 cup Splenda but, the last time I added a little Sugar Twin brown sugar substitute and it turned our well.
