I am on a 40 carb pre-op diet now and am seeking a low carb pumpkin cheese cake or pie. I hear so much about baking with splenda leaving an aftertaste, that I wanted to see what others find better. Thank you for all your help.

I've never baked with anything but sugar, waht about trying that truvia or a combination of a couple.Test small batches first so you don't waste your time and money!!

Fantastic idea. I bet I could break a recipe down and make a small amount. Thank you!!!

I've had great luck cooking with Stevia in the Raw...it comes in a large bag and has instructions on measurements of stevia vs. sugar. I can't find the recipe but my mom made some AMAZING pumpkin pie (without the crust) for me for thanksgiving. The truvia is a bit pricy to use in recipes and the Stevia in the Raw was much cheaper and actually tasted good! I would suggest using a little more than they recommend though.

Spent a day on the low carb recipe sites and found oodles of recipes I want to try. Here is a recipe you might like.
