Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin puree, (450g) homemade or canned
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup coconut milk from the can, the thick creamy white portion only, (230g) *check notes on how to get it from the can
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon all spice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup, (84g)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, cane sugar or coconut sugar, (105.3g)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch, (32g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
- Pre-bake pie crust for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, add all the pumpkin puree, sea salt, thick coconut milk cream, cinnamon, ground ginger, all spice, maple syrup, sugar and sifted in cornstarch. Blend together well with a whisk or in a blender or food processor until cornstarch is completely combined. Alternatively to blend out the cornstarch, mix it with the spices first, then add the wet ingredients.
- You can leave this to set for an hour covered with a kitchen towel first to allow ingredients to completely blend together, or bake immediately. To me, it tastes even better when ingredients are left to sit a bit.
- Pour the batter into the cooled pie crust. Bake for 60 minutes in the oven on the lower shelf or highest shelf depending on your oven (furthest away from heat).
- Remove from oven and let set and cool completely.
- Cover with saran wrap or foil and set in the fridge for at least 4 to 6 hours, ideally overnight. Remove and cut the pie and serve. Dollop each slice with delicious whipped coconut cream. Enjoy!
