My simple vegetarian recipe for pumpkin pie took months to perfect. With the ingredients listed here, it is almost healthy enough to serve as a dinner dish. Pumpkin pie is not just for Thanksgiving anymore! Prep time: 10 min; Total time: 65 min Ingredients:
15 oz can pumpkin |
1 tbsp cinnamon |
1/2 tsp ground ginger |
1/4 tsp cloves |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/2 c splenda granulated |
2 tbsp molasses |
12 oz soy milk |
1/2 c. firm tofu |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.
2. Press your crust into a pie pan.
3. Mix all ingredients together and pour into the crust.
4. Bake at 425 F for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 F and bake for 40-50 minutes.
5. Cool on the countertop for 30-60 minutes and then refrigerate.
6. Tips:
7. To turn it into a dinner dish, reduce the sugar to 1/3 c. or the maple syrup to 1/4 c.
8. You can make this without a crust if you wish. Then it will make more of a pudding than a pie, but it still tastes great!
9. Make this simple vegetarian recipe Sunday night and then you will have a nutritious treat to enjoy all week. Pumpkin is low calorie and high fiber and full of antioxidents. This recipe also provides soy protein, iron, and calcium.
10. Blackstrap molasses are an excellent source of iron, calcium, and other nutrients. However, if you don't have it on hand then you can increase the sugar to 3/4 cup or the increase maple syrup to 2/3 cup.
11. Maple syrup is more nutritious and sweeter than sugar. When possible, it is a great substitute.
12. Try adding small amounts (1/4 tsp) of other spices such as cardamom, nutmeg, and allspice.
13. Make your own whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, mix heavy whipping cream with 1 tsp. vanilla extract and powdered sugar to taste. Continue to mix until thickened. Use an electric mixer if you have one or a whisk if you don't.
