- Ready In:

- Serves:

8
ingredients
- 1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
- 1 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup Splenda sugar substitute
- 4 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1⁄2 cup egg substitute
- 4 tablespoons fat-free margarine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons coconut extract
- 1 cup cooked spaghetti squash
directions
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Coat a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Put all ingredients except squash in your blender and whiz on low for a minute or so.
- Stir in the squash by hand. Pour mixture in the pan. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until just set. The top will puff up and brown.
- NB: I like it better cold. The cornmeal settles to the bottom and forms a kind of sweet polenta crust.

So good that even Mr. Picky, also known as my husband, ate squash and is planning on having more. I subbed based on necessity, so I used half cream and half water for the evaporated milk, and 3 whole XL eggs for the eggs and substitute. This took about 15 extra minutes to bake in a glass pie plate in my oven. With my subs this was around 110 calories per slice, so a bit more but still healthy. Thanks for sharing.

I have to admit I hemmed and hawed on rather to make this or not. Finally, curiosity got the better of me. I sure am glad I did! I love custard pie and coconut and this was absolutely delicious. I actually like the no-crust version better than some of the thick crusted custard pies I have had! (the cornmeal DOES settle to the bottom for a soft "crust") Plan this for when you have other uses for cooked spaghetti squash, though, as it doesn't use much and those babies aren't small :)
