  • 1/2 cup dairy-free plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground ginger

This version contains wheat. (See this version for a gluten-free crust.)

Instructions for Pumpkin Pie

  1. For crusts, place flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add shortening. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.
  2. Continue to pulse adding 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time, until smooth dough forms.
  3. Remove dough. Divide in half and form each half into a disk. Wrap disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
  4. Once chilled, roll one dough disk out to 1/4-inch thickness and lay into pie plate, trim edges.
  5. For filling, pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Pour mixture into pie crust.
  6. Bake 20-25 minutes until filling is set. Remove from oven. Allow to cool before serving.
