Crustless Pecan Pie image

I like this recipe because it comes the closest to the "real thing" without using sugar and corn syrup. Also, when you eliminate the crust, you eliminate lots of fat and carbs. This is useful for diabetic people and doesn't taste half bad. Easy to make and easy to eat. I modified another recipe to suite my needs.
