Simple Pumpkin Pie (Autoimmune Paleo)



 Pumpkin pie was always my favorite dessert around the holidays.Pumpkin and cinnamon are both warming and comforting flavors. It's snowing here in Arkansas, and I needed that. I have many more ideas for Autoimmune Paleo legal fillings floating around, and I can't wait to share them with you guys! This pie is also GAPS and SCD compliant.

What you need:




Ingredients

For the crust


For the filling
1. Preheat oven to 325. Start by softening your dates. You can do this by steaming them over boiling water for about 5 minutes, or soaking them in water overnight. 

2. In a blender or food processor, blend your shredded coconut. Continue processing, or blending, until the coconut has made an oily paste. After it has reached that consistency, you can add 1 cup of your softened dates. Blend until a thick, oily dough has formed. Press mixture into a pie dish or spring form pan, and bake for 25 minutes- or until the crust starts to brown.

3. While your crust is cooling, add pumpkin, remaining dates, ginger, clove, and cinnamon to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. 

4. In a small pan, heat coconut milk on medium heat. Coconut milk will add an extra bit of creaminess to the filling, but it isn't necessary. Add gelatin, and stir it in completely. Heat until it begins to simmer, then turn off burner. Your coconut milk should start to thicken slightly. Add the gelatin mixture to the pumpkin mixture in blender, and combine. 

5. Pour filling into crust, and refrigerate. Your filling should be set within 3-5 hours. Cut, and enjoy! Try using a hand mixer to whip the fat from a can of coconut milk to make a "whipped cream" topping!

  2. This is so delicious... Thanks for sharing! I basically dumped all of the ingredients in the blender and it turned out great. Hard to resist while the crust is still baking. -SH

  3. no clear on the coconut milk, 1 (what?) plus 1/4 cup... also in the cooking instructions you said the water should thicken, there's no water listed. Do you mean the coconut milk?.... thanks!

    1. Yes, it means 1 cup + 1/4 cup of coconut milk. I fixed the "water" typo; thanks for pointing that out. :D Did you see this recipe on Nature's Wonders' newsletter, by chance?
