Pass around the Paleo Pumpkin Pie!

We enjoyed this Christmas Eve. I've tried several recipes for Paleo pumpkin pie, and this is my very favorite so far! This dessert impressed our non-Paleo guests as well! Let's just say, we licked the pie plate clean! Hope you enjoy!

Recipe:

Crust:

1 1/2 C almond meal

1/4 C melted butter (organic, pasteurized, unsalted free range churned butter)... for added benefits! :-)

1 T coconut crystals

Filling:

1 1/2 C organic pumpkin puree

3 eggs

1 C coconut milk

1/2 C agave (or honey)

1 T arrowroot powder

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ginger

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. allspice

1/2 tsp. sea salt (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine melted butter, almond meal and coconut crystals, mix well. Pour into a 8 or 9 inch pie pan. Use your fingers to press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan. In a separate bowl, combine filling ingredients. Gently pour filling into the the crust (I had a little leftover filling). Bake for 50-60 minutes (until center of the pie is set). About half-way cooking time, attach a few strips of aluminum foil around the edges of the pie, to prevent the crust from burning. Serves 8! So so yummy. Happy Holidays!!!
