Ingredients:
• 2/3 cup sifted soy flour or soya powder
• 1/2 cup pecans, finely ground
• 1/3 cup whole-grain pastry flour
• 1/4 cup sugar substitute
• 6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into 12 pieces
• 2 tablespoons ice water

Heat oven to 425F. In a large bowl whisk together soy flour, pecans, pastry flour and sugar substitute. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until butter pieces are about the size of peas. Add the ice water; stir to combine. Transfer crust mixture to a 9 pie plate. Press along bottom and sides of pie plate to form a crust. Place in freezer to harden, about 15 minutes. Cover crust with aluminum foil and bake 15 minutes; remove from oven and take off foil. Reduce oven to 375F.In a bowl, whisk pumpkin, sugar substitute, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt to combine. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Add heavy cream and mix well.

Note:
A brand called "Tree of Life Organic Pumpkin Puree" has 10 carbs, 4 fiber and 4 sugar for a whole cup. The above recipe is for a pie cut in to 8 slices. This is a 9inch pie plate. I am a baker and I would NEVER cut 8 pieces out of a pie plate. So, I think these servings are proportionally high. For me, I would rather my other recipe for Pumpkin Nut Bake if I really want Pumpkin, but if I were to have this I would go small.
If I were to guess at the S/C value, I'm thinking its a 4/1 (approx).
