Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F  and grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
2. Place the pecans, oats, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse until it forms a fine crumb. Add in the coconut oil and pulse to form a dough.
3. Press the mixture into the prepared dish in an even layer. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with dried beans or pie weights. Blind bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment and weights and bake for another 15 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, coconut milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, salt, and spices. 
5. Pour the mixture over the crust and bake for around 50-55 minutes, until only slightly jiggly in the center. Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
6. Open the can of coconut cream and scoop out the hardened cream at the top. Using a hand mixer, beat together the coconut cream, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Serve alongside the pie.

Homemade Crust

Pumpkin pie crust isn’t necessarily unhealthy, but there’s always room for improvement. Making your own leaves you in control of all the ingredients being used, so you can ditch highly processed flour and replace dairy milk with a plant-based version if your recipe includes milk.

Choice of Sweeteners

When trying to make your pumpkin pie a little bit sweeter, you’ll probably reach for white or brown sugar because most recipes call for it. Luckily, you can easily replace them with natural sweeteners such as honey and maple syrup, which both happen to be healthier and much more delicious. Also try to cut on sugar-rich toppings, such as whipped cream.

Pumpkin Purée

Most people use canned pumpkin purée when making this dessert to speed things up, but this is a huge mistake. Canned products often contain artificial sugars and flavorings, so it’s best to buy all-natural pumpkin purée or just get a pumpkin and blend it on your own for the best possible result.

Turning your leftover pumpkin pie into a crème brûlée will give you all the flavors you love but with a new twist that you won’t be able to resist.

Ingredients

• As much leftover pumpkin pie as you have
• 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar per ramekin
• Extra cinnamon or nutmeg if necessary

Recipe

1. Take your pumpkin pie and scoop out the filling.
2. Put the filling in a separate bowl and taste it to see if any of the flavors have weakened. If so, add any extra spices necessary.
3. Break up the pie crust and put them on the bottom of small ramekins.
4. Fill the ramekins with the filling and sprinkle over 1 tablespoon of sugar over each.
5. Use a blowtorch to brown the top of the brûlées.
6. If you don’t have a blowtorch, you can put the ramekins into a baking dish with a little bit of water in them.
7. Stick it under the broiler for a few minutes until they’re browned on top.
8. Enjoy!

Use the Right Spice Combination

The biggest key to making a delicious pumpkin pie is using the right spices. Here are the essential spices for a great pie filling:

• 4 parts cinnamon
• 2 parts ginger
• 1 part nutmeg
• 1 part clove

Mix these together and your spice is going to be perfect.

Replace White Sugar with Brown Sugar

Be creative and use brown sugar instead of white sugar for your pie filling! Pumpkin pie is a spiced, fall dessert that goes perfectly with the richer tones that brown sugar lends to a pie.

Make Your Own Crust

Say goodbye to pre-made pie crusts and make your own dough in order to become a pumpkin pie master. Trust me when I say that it’s worth it. Do an egg wash before putting it in the oven and you’ll be amazed at just how tasty it is.

Top it with Whipped Cream

A delicious slice of pumpkin pie isn’t complete without a dollop of whipped cream on top. Be sure to add a nice drop of it in order to give some creamy richness to your pie!
