Ingredients
Pie crust:
- homemade nut-free pie crust or store-bought crust see notes for an almond crust recipe
Pumpkin Pie:
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree
- ½ cup heavy cream OR full-fat canned coconut milk OR nut milk of choice
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2-3 teaspoons garam masala I use 3 teaspoons
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar optional for a sweeter pie
Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream or canned coconut cream if paleo/dairy-free
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar or honey if paleo
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Combine the pumpkin pie filling ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pour this filling into either a homemade pie crust or a store-bought crust.
- Bake the pie for 60-65 minutes, checking on the pie periodically to make sure the crust isn’t getting too brown (if it looks brown, cover it with foil and continue to bake).
- Remove the pie from the oven. The filling should look mostly set but it’s okay if the center wiggles a bit as the pie will continue to cook as it cools.
- Allow the pie to cool for a couple hours then serve with whipped cream. If making the pie in advance, loosely cover and keep in the fridge for 3-4 days or tightly cover and keep in the freezer for up to two months.
How to make whipped cream:
- Pour the cream and powdered sugar into a stand mixer (or use a hand-held electric mixer) and whisk on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes, or until you see peaks form.
Notes
- I have a nut-free pie crust on the blog which is what I used to make the pie pictured in this post.
- I also have this almond flour crust that I used to make often before learning about my husband's almond allergy. I'm including the recipe here:
- To make an almond flour pie crust, combine 2 cups almond flour, 2 tablespoons softened ghee, 1 whisked egg, ¼ teaspoon salt and cinnamon together in a bowl and mix well to form a dough. Press dough into a pie pan, poke with a fork and bake at 350F for 5 minutes. Add the pie filling and then continue to bake according to the pie directions.
