4.5 stars...actually! This pie was a surprising treat! The texture was identical to a normal pumpkin pie recipe. I even cut back to 1/2 cup of sugar and it was still plenty sweet. My only complaint was that the batter was too much for a 9-inch pie pan by quite a bit. Other than that - great Holiday alternative!

My family & I did not care for this pie. You could taste the OJ & they didn't like the texture. We all prefer the typical pumpkin pie recipe with the only change of Splenda to replace the sugar so that the diabetics in the family can enjoy it as well.
