Sugar-free crustless pumpkin cake for diabetics

Pumpkin pie is a highly valued traditional dessert in various cultures, especially during the autumn season and holidays like Thanksgiving in the United States. Its origin dates back to colonial times when pumpkins were a common ingredient in American cuisine due to their abundance and long shelf life. In Latin America, this dessert can vary and goes by different names depending on the country. For example, in Mexico it is simply known as "pastel de calabaza" (pumpkin pie), while in some Central American countries it is called "tarta de auyama" or "pay de zapallo". Although the traditional format includes a base or crust, many modern recipes have developed crustless versions, adapted for people with specific dietary needs, such as diabetics, who must control their sugar intake.

This crustless and sugar-free variant allows you to enjoy the delicious flavor of pumpkin along with a touch of spices that evoke the autumn season, without compromising your health. Furthermore, it uses artificial sweeteners and healthy alternatives, making it ideal for those looking to manage their glucose levels without giving up the pleasure of a homemade dessert.
