A gluten-free (and dairy-optional) version of the classic pumpkin pie. Get all the pumpkin flavor with only real-food ingredients. Even uses natural sweeteners!
Prepare pie crust according to the pie crust recipe instructions.
While the pie crust is baking, use the pie crust bowl (no need for extra dishes!) to combine all the filling ingredients except coconut milk.
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Use an immersion blender or food processor and mix the pumpkin filling thoroughly. A hand-mixer will not get it as smooth! The pie filling should be smooth and spreadable.
Add a small amount of coconut milk if needed to thin slightly.
Spoon the filling over the baked crust and smooth and bake for about an hour or until center is no longer jiggly. It will set more as it cools.
Cool completely.
Top with coconut cream or whipped heavy cream and some chopped pecans.
Enjoy!
Notes
The above recipe can be doubled to fit in a 9x13 baking dish.
Feel free to tweak the spice and sweetness levels to your family's liking! You can also substitute stevia, but the honey helps the pie hold together better.
