Pumpkin Pudding

1/4 lb butter (1 stick)
1 14-ounces can pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
1/3 cup vanilla whey protein powder
5 eggs
1/2 cup erythritol
1/2 cup granular Splenda
1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses (or the darkest molasses you can get)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Set the butter to melt, either in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stove. In the meanwhile, spray a 6-cup glass casserole with non-stick cooking spray.

While the butter's melting, measure everything else into a mixing bowl. When the butter is melted, add it, and whisk everything together well. Pour the batter into your prepared casserole.

Microwave on high for 13-15 minutes -- the pudding should be set around the edges, with an area about 2" in diameter still soft in the middle -- makes for a lovely texture contrast.

Scoop into dishes and serve hot, with sugar-free vanilla ice cream. (I think this would be good chilled, with whipped cream, too.)

Canned Pumpkin

Submitted by edbellinger on Fri, 2010-07-02 07:00.

Too bad I can not find canned pumpkin anywhere in NW Ohio. I was told there was a shortage due to crop failure, and they are holding back to make sure there is enough for the holidays. It is too bad, I have been wanting to make your pumpkin cheesecake. It is my favorite.

Alternative to whey protein powder?

Hey Dana

I have both your "15-minute..." and the "500 LC..." cookbooks and they are much loved. Many of the recipes that looks very tempting, like this one, has whey protein powder in them, and sadly, I just can't eat that. Without going into details, let's just say that even a small amount leads to a very painful... stop. As I understand from some googling, it is not a totally uncommon problem. Can you suggest a replacement that would work in most recipes?
