Hot Buttered Rum Pie

Healthy Fact of the Day

Hot Buttered Rum Pie is a rich, indulgent dessert high in calories, sugar, and saturated fat. To make it slightly healthier, consider using reduced-fat graham crackers for the crust and light cream cheese mixed with Greek yogurt for part of the filling. You could reduce the sugar content by using a natural sweetener alternative for part of the brown sugar. The spices like cinnamon and nutmeg contain antioxidants and may help regulate blood sugar. However, this pie should be enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular dessert. Consider serving smaller portions and pairing with fresh berries for added nutrients and fiber. Most of the alcohol cooks out during baking, but the rum flavor remains.
