Don't let the name throw you! This is awesome!!! This was my baby girl's absolute favorite dessert (not counting my low carb chocolate cup cakes!) I have probably made this recipe about a hundred times and who knows how many ways! I have only listed a few of the variations that I have tried. You are only limited by your lack of imagination!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups spaghetti squash (cooked)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 ounces heavy cream
  • 1 cup cup ideal sweetener (regular or brown)
  • - (can use splenda, but use only 1/2 cup)

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut extract
  • pinch salt (a tiny pinch!)

How To Make low carb spaghetti squash pie

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Step 2
    Stir everything together, pour into glass pie plate and bake until set. (appx 10 to 20 minutes. I am high altitude, so, sometimes it takes about 25 minutes. When I lived at sea level, it took about 10 minutes. So, keep an eye on it.)
  • Step 3
    Variations: Pumpkin Pie Taste: Put cooked spaghetti squash and other ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice (instead of 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 1/2 teaspoon coconut extracts) 2 teaspoons maple flavoring (instead of 1 1/2 teaspoons of coconut) 2 teaspoons of banana extract instead of coconut
  • Step 4
    TO COOK SPAGHETTI SQUASH: Cut squash in half, remove seeds. Put cut side down on plate and cover with plastic wrap. Cook 5 to 15 minutes. Cooking time depends on wattage of microwave. I have a 1200 watt and it takes about 5 minutes. But it took 15 minutes or longer with my old one. It should be fork tender. When it is thoroughly cooked, take a fork and scrape out all of the 'spaghetti' blot excess water from spaghetti and continue as directed in the above recipe.
