How about a low fat Pumpkin Pie that forms its own crust?
Instant Pumpkin Pie
1 c sugar (or 1/2 c sugar)
1/2 c flour
2/3 c 1% milk
2 eggs
4 egg whites
1/4 c melted butter
1/4 t salt
2 c pumpkin puree
2 t cinnamon
1 t nutmeg
1/2 t cloves
1/2 t ginger
Blend all ingredients in blender and pour into 9'; pie pan. Bake a 350 degrees for 60 minutes. Forms its own crust.Does anyone have good desserts recipes for Thanksgiving? something with fruit, not too fattening.?
I recommend you check cookinglight.com! They have great low-fat desserts. I would suggest a fuit triffle or strawberry shortcake where the cake is angle food cake. Angle food cake has virtually no fat in it and with some whipped cream and fresh strawberries, you will have a quilt free dessert. The kids could always add some ice cream for extra flavor. Good luck! Remember...Thanksgiving is a day of eating and giving thanks to all the wonderful food we have. Enjoy!!
Jello with fruit in it! Yay!
I'm making this particular dessert for thanksgiving but made it for a christmas dinner last year.
You take a small package of jello (orange is usually used) and fix according to directions on the box. Fold the jello into a tube of whipped topping. Add a 16 oz can of crushed pineapple, drained and mix well. You can add about a 1/2 c. chopped pecans if desired. You lightly spray a bundt cake pan or jello mold with non stick spray and refrigerate until set. It is called an Orange Jello salad. It is really good.
If you wanted it not too fattening, you can use fat free whipped topping and sugar free jello.
It's Thanksgiving! Having a healthy dessert won't help. Just hit the gym on Friday to make up for the damage you'll do on Thursday. You might as well enjoy it!

Apple Crisp- nice recipe here:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Apple-Crisp鈥?/a>
If it's a bit sugary for you, just increase the amount of apples or use less of the topping. Don't cut down on the sugar or it won't bake right. This is great if you use a mixture of apples and pears, but cut down on the liquid and add a little more flour if the pears are juicy
Not really a dessert, but it's sweet enough to be.
1 lg carton cottage cheese
1 lg pkg. orange jello
1 sm. carton cool whip
1 lg can pineapple chunks
1 lg can mandarin oranges
Mix cottage cheese with orange jello until blended. Stir in fruit. Fold in cool whip. Chill in fridge for a few hours or overnight. Takes about 5-10 minutes to make.
Totally easy, non-fat, low in calories and tastes great. Sounds too good to be true, but it isnt. I got this recipe at a Weight Watchers meeting many years ago, and have taken it to many parties and everyone raves about it. They had no idea it was a ';diet'; recipe!
One package of angel food cake mix (one step only. If you get a package that has more than one step, this will NOT work)
One large can (about 22 oz.) crushed pineapple.
In a large bowl,using a spoon, mix together the package of angel food cake mix and the can of crushed pineapple, juice and all. This will fluff up really big, so make sure the bowl is big. You only need to stir it until they blend together, no more.
Pour into a casserole dish sprayed with Pam. bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Garnish with fresh fruit and whipped cream, if desired.
Happy Thanksgiving!
