  • ½ pinch of stevia or xylitol to very lightly sweeten less is more
  • 2 tbsps olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 tbsps butter, melted

Pie Filling:

  • 1 can pumpkin puree 15 oz. (preferably organic, with no sugar or other additives, check the label)
  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 4 oz. organic coconut cream
  • 8 oz. unsweetened almond milk original or vanilla flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C)
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, stevia or xylitol, olive oil, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed and a crumbly dough forms.
  • Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
  • Pre-bake the crust for about 7-8 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, stevia, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Stir until well blended.
  • Add in the coconut cream and almond milk, mixing until smooth. Taste the filling and adjust sweetness if necessary.

Assemble the Pie:

  • Pour the pumpkin filling into the pre-baked almond crust.
  • Place the pie in the oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:

  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to fully set.
  • Top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

This version balances rich, buttery flavor with the health benefits of olive oil, making it a fantastic holiday treat for any gathering!
