I’ve been making this pumpkin pie for YEARS, with a graham cracker crust. It’s a basic pumpkin pie recipe that uses coconut milk in place of sweetened condensed milk and maple syrup in place of sugar. The result is a little less sweet but then I spice it up with fresh grated ginger, fresh grated nutmeg and cinnamon – YUMMMM!

When I came up with the crust-less recipe, I had to add a little gluten-free flour to thicken it up so it would set without the crust.

If you wanted to make the crust version – buy or make a graham cracker crust and omit the flour. Top with whipped coconut or regular cream for an extra treat.

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Combine all ingredients and pour into greased 9″ pie pan.
