  • 2 - Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup - Coconut Milk
  • 8 oz - Cream Cheese
  • 1 Tbs - Coconut Flour
  • 2 Tsp - Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • Pie Crust by All Day I Dream About Food. Use the pie crust recipe that's for the Pecan Pie (which I highly recommend to make too). I replaced the Swerve sweetener with 1 Tbs (48 Sugar Calories) of Coconut Sugar & 1/2 Tbs of Stevia. I also added 1 Tsp of Pumpkin Pie Spice.
Directions for Pie
  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Put all ingredients into a food processor and combine until mixed well. 
  3. Pour into frozen pie crust
  4. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Make sure to test the batter by using a butter knife. Only a little batter will stick to the knife.   
  5. Let cool before placing in refrigerator for a couple hours or over night. 
  6. Serve with Real Whipped Topping. 

Enjoy!
