LOWER SUGAR PUMPKIN PIE
LOW IN SUGAR. DAIRY-FREE. GLUTEN-FREE. GRAIN-FREE. PALEO FRIENDLY… AND EASY!It’s not Thanksgiving (or Fall) without it. I’m talking about Pumpkin Pie but today… we are talking about a low sugar pumpkin pie that will blow your socks off. This is a very easy recipe to follow. As a matter of fact, my husband participated and said “wow, this is easy, if I can do this – anyone can!” Yes…this crust is only four ingredients and absolutely DELICIOUS. It has them all going “hmmm… what is that?!”NOTES: Start with 1/2 cup almond milk and work your way up just to make sure you get the right consistency. For the sweetener, I like monk fruit or allulose. Also if your crust does not get sticky, just try adding a few more dates for the right texture. Don’t forget your favorite dollop of whipped topping (optional). Enjoy!
Ingredients
- Pumpkin Pie Filling:
- •1/2 cup-3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk start with 1/2 cup first and see if you need more
- •2 large egg whites
- •1 15 oz can pureed pumpkin
- •2-3 tbs a sugar-free sweetener of your choice depends on your level of sweet
- •1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- •2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Crust:
- •10 dates pitted soaked in water for about 1 hour
- •1 tablespoon sugar-free sweetener
- •3 cups walnuts raw and unsalted
- •1/2 tsp cinnamon I use coconut whipped cream for topping optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Drain the dates and place in a food processor or blender with walnuts, sweetener and cinnamon. Keep processing until it becomes a sticky mixture that sticks together. If this doesn’t happen, then you need to add more dates to make it stick together.
- Transfer the crust to a round pie dish. Press the crust into an evenly layer, pressing it firmly into the pan and corners.
- Next make the pumpkin filling by adding the ingredients for the filling to a food processor or blender. Blend until all ingredients are incorporated and smooth. Pour the pumpkin filling over the crust. Bake 45-50 minutes at 350 F until the pie is set and edges are firm. Remove from the oven and cool for 1 hour at room temperature. Ready now and fantastic the next day too! ENJOY.
