Crustless Pumpkin Pie recipe

For my dad, Russell and all the other diabetics in my life-namely me cus ITS ALL ABOUT ME !!  At 6.5 carbs a serving you could sit down and eat 2 and a 1/2 slices of pie and still be in a within the 15 carb snack neighborhood. Not that I would advocate eating 2 and 1/2 slices..um no I would never do that!  <slides 2 pie plates under the recliner

Ingredients: 


3/4 Cup Splenda (you could use sugar but that will increase the carbs )


1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 
1 teaspoon Cinnamon 
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (may leave out if you don’t like spicy pumpkin pie) 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
2 Large Egg Whites 
1 15 Ounce Can Pumpkin (NOT Pumpkin pie mix, just pumpkin) 
1 Cup Skim Milk

in the can of pumpkin. Then slowly stir in skim milk.
