- Author: Dr. Jill
- Prep Time: 25 minutes
- Cook Time: 50 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Filling
- Drip the cooked pumpkin in a strainer with a bowl underneath for an hour to get out excess liquid
- In a food processor puree the pumpkin, all the spices and the eggs
- Add the coconut milk or cream and mix
Crust
- Measure out the nuts and in a food processor grind them to a nut butter
- Add the oil, honey, vanilla and process
- Add the coconut flour and process until it combines and it becomes a ball
- If it is too soft add a little more coconut flour 1 teaspoon at a time until it becomes solid enough to press into a pie pan (it doesn’t have to become a ball)
- Press the crust batter into a large pie plate (9″ or 10″ lined with oiled parchment paper)
Putting it all together
- Pour the filling into the pie crust
- Bake in a 350º F oven for 45 – 50 minutes — you might want to cover the rimes of the crust with foil or a commercial pie crust protector as they tend to burn
- If the crust is getting too dark cover the pie with a piece of foil or other oven safe method and continue to bake until it is set
- Cool and then refrigerate
- This may be served warm or cold with toppings such as fresh whipped cream, coconut whipped cream, yogurt, etc.
