Ingredients

  • Almond Pie Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1 pinch of kosher or sea salt
  • 1/2 pinch of stevia or xylitol to very lightly sweeten (less is more)
  • 1 (15 oz.) can (preferably organic) pumpkin puree (no sugar or other additives, check the label)
  • 3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • Pie Filling:
  • ¾ cup “Spoonable” brand stevia or equivalent OR 2/3 cup xylitol (OR LESS – TASTE IT! Let the spices do the talking!)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 4 oz. organic coconut cream
  • 8 oz. unsweetened almond milk, original or vanilla flavor
  • 1 slightly cooled almond pie crust (see below)
  • Optional: Freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix almond flour, pinch of sea salt, and 1/2 of stevia/xylitol.
  3. Add extra virgin olive oil and thoroughly combine. Press into glass pie plate.
  4. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. You don’t want the crust to brown.

  8. Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees.
