Pumpkin-Lucuma Pie y Julie Morris on November 20, 2012
With a busy holiday week ahead, I have little time to write a proper post, but I DID want to share a fabulous pie
th you. It seems every year I go on a personal quest to create a lower sugar, lower fat pumpkin pie, and this year I’m so p leased with the wonderful
at’s emerged.
begin, it’s delicious. If you like pumpkin pie, you will love this one.
t this special pie has two pretty major healthy secrets underneath it’s tasty exterior. The first secret is the use of orga nic silken tofu (be sure to use
ganic or a certified non GMO brand). Incorporating tofu in the place of eggs, cream, or even cashews, gives the pie a deceptive richness while mak
ry low in fat, lower in calories, and high in protein (WIN!). I’ve seen many plant-based pie recipes use this trick, and for good reason: it works. And
credibly, you won’t taste it a bit.
e second ingredient trick which I love even more however, is the use of lucuma powder. As I’ve mentioned before, this South American fruit provide
mplex-flavored sweetness, yet is naturally very low in sugar. It also has a slightly squash-like undertone, meaning it is the PERFECT addition to a
mpkin pie! Using lucuma powder in this recipe means that though a very minimal amount of sugar is used (just a tablespoon per serving!) we can s
tain all the traditional flavor. You can definitely feel proud serving this one up to your friends and family – for all the right reasons! Learn more about
cuma powder here.
mpkin Lucuma Pie
akes 8 servings
GREDIENTS:
15 oz can pumpkin puree
12.3 oz package organic silken tofu
cup coconut sugar
cup lucuma powder
easpoons cinnamon powder teaspoon ginger powder
teaspoon clove powder
prepared pie crust (preferably whole grain and dairy-free)
RECTIONS:
eheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
a food processor, combine all the ingredients – except the pie crust – and mix until completely smooth. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared
ust, and spread into a flat layer. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 350 and bake for 40-45 minutes longer, or until th
s slightly browned and the crust is golden. Remove from the oven, and let the pie cool completely to room temperature, to fully set. Slice and serve;
ep up to 4 days, unrefrigerated.
erving suggestion: Make a coconut whip cream by chilling a can of full-fat coconut cream in the refrigerator overnight. Scoop out the separated cre
m the water, and use a hand-held blender to whip the cream until slightly stiffened. Top the pie with coconut whip cream when ready to serve.

apanese Pumpkin Pie (kabocha squash) y Julie Morris on November 23, 2010
on’t be afraid of using fabulous kabocha squash instead of traditional pumpkin – it adds a sweetness and flavor that surpasses any other squash for
d allows for a low sugar dessert recipe. Ingredient notes: agar agar is a seaweed that is available in most health food stores. It has no tastehatsoever, it’s simple to use, and it allows the pie filling to set in the refrigerator instead of the oven. Yacon syrup is a beneficial low glycemic sweete
tracted from the yacon root.

Heavenly Baked Delicata Squash

Without a doubt, Delicata is my favorite squash. Its vibrant orange flesh, wonderfully sweet taste, melt-away
xture, and small size (for easy slicing and fast baking) make it just about perfect in my book. Here, a touch of coconut oil lends a buttery flav
d enchanting scent, while a dash of seasoning draws out the flavors. This is truly simplicity at its best.
