Pumpkin pie is a “classic” that's served after Thanksgiving dinner and in the days following. Unfortunately, it's served with excessive sugar and carbs (on top of all the others you will be consuming that day). The good news? There is a healthy, yet equally delicious alternative: The No-Bake Pumpkin Pudding. This dessert is gluten free, dairy free, grain free, sugar free and egg free, so it aligns perfectly for those with specific dietary needs. Plus, it requires little prep and cook time, making it super easy for you to whip up right before your friends and family knock on your door for Thanksgiving Dinner.
