    Perfect Pumpkin Pie with Homemade Pecan Pie Crust

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on June 7, 2006 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    This Perfect Pumpkin Pie is another sample recipe that was shared with us from Recipes for Dairy-Free Living by Denise Jardine. Denise makes her crust from scratch, and it’s spiked with pecans. For the filling she swaps in pureed tofu for the liquid, helping the pie to firm up more for slicing.

    Author: Denise Jardine
    Serves: 1 deep-dish 9-inch pie
    Ingredients
    Pecan Pie Crust
    • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup pecans, minced
    • 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 6 tablespoons dairy-free buttery sticks or shortening, chilled
    • ¼ cup dairy-free milk beverage, lukewarm
    Pumpkin Pie Filling
    • 1 (10.5-ounce) package firm silken tofu
    • 2 large eggs
    • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • 2 teaspoons molasses
    • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 (15-ounce) can solid pack pumpkin puree
    • 16 Candied or toasted pecans halves, for garnish (optional)
    • Dairy-free whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
    Instructions
    Pecan Pie Crust
    1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pecans, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the buttery sticks or shortening and whisk until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the milk beverage and mix quickly with your hands until the dough forms a shaggy ball. Do not overwork the dough.
    2. Form the dough into a slightly flattened disk and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap.
    3. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to form a circle 11 to 12 inches in diameter, by periodically lifting and repositioning the plastic wrap over the dough.
    4. Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and invert the dough into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Gently press the dough into the pan. Peel off and discard the plastic. Leave ½ inch of dough hanging over the rim of the pan and remove any excess dough by trimming with kitchen scissors. Turn the overhanging dough under toward the inside of the pan to form a rim. Pinch the dough between your thumb and index finger to form a fluted edge around the top edge of the pan.
    Pumpkin Pie Filling
    1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
    2. Put the tofu and eggs in your blender, and blend until creamy, about 2 minutes. Stop to scrape down the sides of the blender, as needed.
    3. Add the sugars, molasses, spices, and salt and blend. Add the pumpkin and blend until the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes.
    4. Pour the filling into the prepared pie pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
    5. Place the pie on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Decrease the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the pie is just firm in the center.
    6. Place the pie on a wire rack. Lightly press the pecan halves into the hot filling, if using. Let cool to room temperature.
    7. The pie can be refrigerated before serving and will firm up more as it chills.
