Thought it was great! Much healthier. We didn't even cut the "normal" pumpkin pie! Added extra cinnamon and some vanilla. Was delicious!!!

One of the best pumpkin pies I've made. I tried with ice cream or sweetened condensed. This beets them all.

It was pretty good but I made a few adjustments. Instead of using the different spices i used pumpkin pie spice and i also added a tsp. of vanilla extract. It came out pretty good and healthier too.

It was pretty good but i made some alterations. Instead of using all the different spices I used a tsp. of pumpkin pie spice and added a tsp. of vanilla extract. It came out really runny after only 55min. of baking so i had to cook it for almost 1hr and a half. Overall it was pretty good and healthier too.

I really wanted to like it, but this was the worst pumpkin pie I've ever tasted in my life. I made the recipe as written, without substitutions, and it was very tart and sour tasting. I felt like it could use some more spices and sugar, but that would still probably not hide the sour yogurt taste.
