Ingredients
FOR THE CRUST:
- 2 cups (300 g) shelled raw pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons (4 g) Splenda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons blackstrap molasses
- 4 tablespoons (56 g) butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water
FOR THE PUMPKIN PIE FILLING:
- 1 can (15 ounces, or 420 ml) pumpkin
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) heavy cream
- 3 eggs 3/4 cup (18 g) Splenda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons blackstrap molasses
- 1 tablespoon (6 g) pumpkin pie spice
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4)
- To make the crust: Put the pecans and salt in a food processor with the S-blade in place
- Pulse until the pecans are chopped to a medium consistency
- Add the Splenda, molasses, and butter and pulse again until well blended
- Add the water and pulse again until well combined
- At this point, you’ll have a soft, sticky mass
- Spray a 10-inch (25-cm) pie plate with nonstick cooking spray or butter it well
- Pour the pecan mixture into it and press firmly in place, all over the bottom and up the sides by 1 1/2 inches (3 cm) or so
- Try to get it an even thickness with no holes, and if you wish, run a finger or a knife around the top edge to get an even, nice-looking line
- Bake for about 18 minutes
- Cool
- Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C, or gas mark 7)
- To make the filling: Combine the pumpkin, heavy cream, eggs, Splenda, salt, molasses, and spice in a bowl and whisk together well
- Pour into the prebaked and cooled pie shell
- Bake for 15 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4), and bake for an additional 45 minutes
- Cool and serve with whipped cream
