Who doesn’t enjoy a piece of classic pumpkin pie with a cup of tea on a crisp afternoon or after a celebratory meal with friends and family? We can sometimes feel a bit of guilt about it. We know the rich filling is filled with cream and sugar that may leave us feeling sluggish for days- so the angel and devil end up having a little scrap between dinner courses. Well, now they (and you) can happily all be on the same side. While keeping the same rich texture and flavour, this variation on a classic has a grain free crust and a dairy and refined sugar free filling. Depending mainly on the sweetness of roasted pumpkin with a hint of honey, this luscious and nutritious pie will be a favourite, and leave everyone asking for your secret, guilt free recipe.
