I use a simple nut crust, made with walnuts ground quite fine to which I
add some splenda(to taste) and then press it into the pie pan.

For the filling I use the recipe on the can of Libby's plain pumpkin(not
the pumpkin pie mix), and substitute splenda for the sugar called for. I
also use unsweetened soy milk (5 grs of carb per 8 oz cup) in place of
tany milk or cream called for, as I can't mix dairy with meat (turkey
dinner) for religiious reasons. I also up whtever spices it calles for
too.

When it is not thanksgiving I will make this without the crust as pumpkin
custard.

I don't have a can of the pumpkin handy so i can't give you the whole
recipe, but you coul duse any recipe you like with the elimination of the
carbs in the crust and the sugar.
