Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Ice water
Filling:
- 15 oz. pumpkin (I use Libby’s)
- 4 oz. silken tofu
- 4 oz. coconut milk
- ⅔ cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Crust:
- In a food processor, add flour and salt, pulse to mix. Next add coconut oil and lemon juice, pulse until mixture resembles crumbs.
- Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture sticks together when pressed. Should be fairly dry. If the dough gets too wet, harden in fridge for 5-10 minutes.
- Roll out to fit an 8 inch pie pan.
- Pre-baking the pie crust makes a better pie, though it is not absolutely necessary. Bake pie crust at 350F for 30 minutes with pie weights. Remove pie weights and bake an additional 10 minutes. Let pie crust cool.
Filling:
- In a food processor, blend pumpkin and tofu until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Fill the cooled pie crust.
- Bake at 350F for 45 minutes.
