We ask you, urgently: don’t scroll past this

Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

Pumpkin pie flavor without the baggage

Chicago Tribune (MCT) - If you're longing for pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving but have sworn off high fat and calories from the rich custard and pastry, this custard would make a happy substitute. It's adapted from "The Diabetes Weight Loss Diet," by Antony Worrall Thompson, who writes "Not only does it taste good, but it is another way to get some vegetables into your daily diet."

SOUFFLEED PUMPKIN PIE CUSTARD

Prep: 15 minutes

Cook: 25 minutes

Makes: 6 servings

1 orange

2 eggs, separated

1 can (15 ounces) solid pack pumpkin

2/3 cup low-fat milk

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

˝ teaspoon ground ginger

1/8 teaspoon each: ground cloves, salt

1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grate the zest from half of the orange with a fine grater into a large bowl. Cut orange in half; juice the whole orange. Add juice to bowl. Add the egg yolks, pumpkin, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Beat with electric mixer until smooth, 1 minute.
