POINTS® Value: 5.5 Servings:  8

Creating a lighter version of the pie crust for this sweet, gooey dessert - packed with flavour but trimmed of Points values.

 

	8 sheet filo pastry
	1 spray low-fat cooking spray
	110 g pecan nuts, chopped lengthwise into 3 pieces each
	4 portion egg white, lightly beaten
	130 g light brown sugar
	55 g polyunsaturated margarine
	115 g syrup
	2 tablespoon polyunsaturated margarine, melted

 

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 4/360°F/175°C. Lightly coat a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking pan with cooking spray.

Cut filo sheets in half diagonally to form 2 equal-size triangles. Place 1 sheet in prepared pan, lightly spray with cooking spray, and top with another sheet of filo, placing corners just to the right of previous corners. Repeat with remaining sheets, so you're covering the pan with a fan of filo. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to Gas Mark 3/325°F/165°C. Combine filling ingredients in medium bowl; pour into crust. Bake, uncovered, about 35 minutes or until firm. Cover halfway through baking process if crust becomes too brown. Cool in pan.
