Yield 1 pie 1x

Ingredients

Crust

Pumpkin Pie Filling:

  • 115oz can of pumpkin puree
  • 2/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup coconut cream OR top of 1 can of coconut milk (just the hard part that settles at top of can after being refrigerated overnight or for 4 hours. You want it to be hardened or very thick cream) 
  • 2 Tbsp arrowroot starch (sub cornstarch)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground clove
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350F. Prepare + grease an 8-inch pie dish* see note for larger pie dish.* 
  2. For the crust, mix together almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk egg, coconut sugar and coconut oil.
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until completely combined and ball shape forms.
  5. Form into well greased pie pan.
  6. Start making the pie filling by adding all ingredients to a food processor. Alternatively whisk by hand or use a blender.
  7. Blend together until completely smooth.
  8. Pour pie filling into the raw crust.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, if edges start to brown, cover them with foil.
  10. Take out of oven once center has cooked – it will set more as it cools.
  11. Let cool completely before serving (I do this in the fridge so it firms up).
  12. Store in fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

* If using larger than an 8 inch dish, I recommend 1.5x the recipe. Not necessary but will fill out the dish more and give more crust.
