Topping
Put all the pie ingredients together (except for the crust) and beat with an electric mixer (egg beater?) until smooth. Put it in the pie crust and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then at 350 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes.
* 1 pkg silken tofu (350 grams, 12 oz)
* 1/4 tbsp pure maple syrup
* 1 tbsp lemon juice
* 1 tsp vanilla

Put all the topping ingredients together and puree with a blender, hand blender, food processor, or whatever (I like hand blenders myself).

Today's Canadian Thanksgiving, and I've spent the last week making pumpkin pies to get this recipe just right for my family. And also because I like pie. So, enjoy!

Update: the topping, while awesome, totally doesn't go with the pie, so I'm removing it. :)

Pumpkin Pie

  • 400mL (one small can) of pumpkin puree (I use E. D. Smith)
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seed [optional, but thickens it better]
  • 1 cup organic brown sugar (I use "Sucarnat", I think)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 cup light coconut milk (the regular kind works, but I found it too sweet)
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (yeah, I'm lazy -- I like Keebler's chocolate one, and it's vegan, too!)

Put all the pie ingredients together (except for the crust) and beat with an electric mixer (egg beater?) until smooth. Put it in the pie crust and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then at 350 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes.
