You know how sometimes when you have ice cream you want a cone and sometimes you just want the ice cream? Well, this is the same thing.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE crust, especially my No Fail Pie Crust (Cold Water Pastry), However, I don't always want all the calories and carbs that come with pie crust. Sometimes I just want pumpkin pie filling and this No Crust Pumpkin Pie (also known as Impossible Pumpkin Pie) is perfect for those times! In fact, it's so perfect that you won't even miss the crust.
I have been following the Weight Watchers program for 20 ish years. I'm not a WW representative, I just believe in the program because it mirrors my own healthy balance philosophy. Weight Watchers simply provides you with the tools to be able to accurately track how much you should eat of what foods, in order to achieve that balance. And it's great for those of us who are obsessed with food - we still get to think about it all the time, but in a healthier way! You can read about my read about my personal Weight Watchers (WW) Journey HERE, if you are interested.
🍰Weight Watchers Desserts
I started creating my own Weight Watchers recipes (making dishes lighter and healthier) when I found a dish I liked, but was super high in points. But it was when I noticed a shift to artificial sweeteners that I was really motivated to start creating my own WW dessert recipes. Artificial sweeteners were not even 'a thing' when I first started Weight Watchers back in the day. And I cannot stand the taste of them or how those sugar substitutes make me feel. So if you feel the same way, check out my other Weight Watchers Dessert Recipes (WW dessert recipes) without artificial sweeteners! You'll especially love this WW friendly Healthy Old-fashioned Banana Cream Pie with Graham Cracker Crust!
🥘 Ingredients
This no crust pumpkin pie is a really great way to 'have your pie and eat it too' when you are following the Weight Watchers program. There are a lot of recipes for this type of pie out there, but this one is real food and WW friendly! For this recipe, you'll need:
- pumpkin purée (real or canned)
- eggs (there's no need to use an egg substitute because eggs are zero points on the blue plan)
- maple extract
- pumpkin pie spice
- cinnamon
- brown sugar
- fat-free evaporated milk
💭Can crustless pumpkin pie be made in advance?
Yes, you can make this no crust pumpkin pie in advance, but I wouldn't make it more than a day ahead - it's not as springy and gets a little spongy/soggy. You can store it for up to 3 days in the fridge but again, each day it gets spongier.
This Weight Watcher Crustless Pumpkin Pie is light, quick and easy to make and totally satisfying. I serve it with light real whipped cream because it’s only 1 point for 4 tbsps and I love whipped cream! There are a couple of different brands you can buy (see Recipe NOTES.) And this WW dessert is one that the whole family will love. My kids really loved this pie as well!

Love this idea! All the flavour of pumpkin pie without the most disappointing part--which is usually the crust! Ideal for us gluten-free types!
Terri Gilson
I agree, Elaine! The inside is THE BEST!!!
Ann
This is awesome, I’m on weight watchers and I’m thrilled to be able to have some of my favorite pie. I used Sukrin Gold brown sugar alternative ( 0 calories, zero sugar, it’s delish). My husband is dietetic, so it was great. Thanks
Ann
I meant diabetic.
Terri Gilson
Thanks, Ann! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Laura
Who knew that pumpkin doesn’t even need a crust! And it still feels like you’re eating a pie, genius!
Terri Gilson
Thanks, Laura!
NANCY WU
who knew pies don't need a crust!
Kristen Kaethler
Looks so rich and creamy, sending this recipe to my sister in law as she needs a gluten-free option and loves pumpkin pie.
Terri Gilson
Thanks, Kristen-hope she enjoys it!
Sharon
Brilliant idea to forgo the crust! I agree it is delicious but sometimes unnecessary. And preach it about those artificial sweeteners!!! I would rather have a smaller amount of the real thing over fake food anytime. This pie is a great alternative!
Sean
This is a really cool idea - especially considering how many pumpkin pies end up with soggy and insubstantial crusts anyway! Nice and simple - I like it.
Joanne
No maple extract can I use sugar-free maple syrup?
Terri Gilson
Hi Joanne,
You could try using a few tablespoons of the maple syrup, but make sure to reduce the evaporated milk by 3 tablespoons. However, you likely won’t get the same depth of flavour as you would with the extract because it’s concentrated. I’d love to hear how it turns out if you try it!
Thanks,
Terri
Lauren
Could you substitute pumpkin for sweet potatoes in this recipe and make a sweet potato pie?
Terri Gilson
Hi Lauren: I don't see why not?! I think it would work well 🙂 Please let me know how it turns out if you try it!
