Another Pumpkin Pie Recipe: Vegan, No Sugar, plus Maple Whip!

20 minutes prep; 1 hour cooking plus pumpkin cooking time.

Makes one 9-inch pie

1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
1 medium pumpkin (1-3/4 cups cooked)
3/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
1/4 teaspoon allspice powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
1/8 teaspoon clove powder
Dairy-Free Maple Whip (recipe follows)
1. Preheat oven to 350. Cut pumpkin in half and remove the seeds. Place face down on a well oiled or parchment paper lined baking pan. Bake until a knife easily goes through the skin and the flesh of the pumpkin, approximately 45 minutes.

2. Scoop out 1-3/4 cups pumpkin, place in food processor or blender with remaining ingredients and process or blend until smooth.

3. Pour mixture into pie crust and bake until top is firm to touch, approximately 1 hour. Filling may puff up and rise above crust line as it bakes. It will fall back down as it cools.
