Made this for Thanksgiving and it was a "hit".
I goofed and opened a can of pumpkin pie mix and just continued with the eggs and rest of ingredients.
I am going to use Splenda or Splenda for baking instead of the sugar the next time I make.

I will try this sometime. I LOVE anything with pumpkin in it. - At least we get some vitamin A out of it! I would also substitute Splenda for the sugar.
