Perfectly Paleo Pumpkin Pie will leave no one wanting for a crust!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup toasted pecans
  • 2 cups pureed, organic baked pumpkin
  • 3 tsp natural pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, ginger, lemon peel, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, star anise, fennel, black pepper)
  • 2 large, cage-free eggs
  • ½ cup honey
  • Coconut cream, for garnish, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 475 F.
  2. Grind the pecans in a food processor and press into the bottom of a glass pie plate rubbed with olive oil and lined with parchment paper to form the crust.
  3. Thoroughly mix the remaining ingredients (pumpkin, spice, honey, eggs) and pour over the crust.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes at 475 and then lower the temperature to 350 for another 30 - 40 minutes or until the 'custard' sets (cover the edges of the pan with foil to prevent the 'crust' from burning).
  5. Cool on wire rack before serving in wedges, perhaps garnished with a dollop of coconut cream.
