Topping

    Sugar free Whipping Cream recipe



Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Crust
     Mix all crust ingredients together in a small bowl. Press it evenly into the bottom of a nine inch pie pan. Bake for 6 minutes. Remove pecan pie crust from oven.

























Filling

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F


    Place all filling ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well with a wire whisk. Place a large spoon in the pie pan and pour the filling on the spoon to keep from disturbing the pecan crust.
    Bake for 15 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue to bake for an additional 50 to 55 minutes. To test if it is done, stick a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the pie is done. Chill before serving.




Topping

1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup Splenda
1 tsp Sugar free vanilla extract

    Whip the heavy cream just until frothy. Then add in the sugar substitute and vanilla extract and continue to whip on high until peaks form. A can of sugar free whipping cream works just fine, or dust the top with some Splenda.
