gluten free , crustless pumpkin pie

Yes you guessed it. It is The classic American pumpkin pie with out the crust. The texture of this wonderful American invention is souffle like and mouth watering. Who needs pie crust anyway.  I have since learned that most often the pie crust  comes out  soggy – So is not only healthier for you, gluten free but also tastes  amazing…
I have always  wanted to  try pumpkin pie, but often veered away because all the recipes i found – all use pumpkin puree from a can. Well you can do this from scratch if you want to, but when you need to  whip  up something for those winter nights, everything but the eggs  could be found in your pantry cupboard… win win.! so please enjoy this  super tasty dessert it has  become a family favorite to rival apple pie.
