Almond Pie Crust:
- 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
- 1 pinch of kosher or sea salt
- 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:
- ¾ cup “Spoonable” stevia or equivalent OR LESS – TASTE IT! Let the spices do the talking!
- 1 can pumpkin puree 15 oz. (preferably organic, with no sugar or other additives, check the label)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg fresh grated
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- 4 oz. organic coconut cream
- 8 oz. unsweetened almond milk original or vanilla flavor
Optional Topping:
- Fresh whipped cream garnish
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.
This version balances rich, buttery flavor with the health benefits of olive oil, making it a fantastic holiday treat for any gathering!
