Pumpkin Pie


November is the month when we most frequently think of pumpkin pie. It seems like it's something the family never tires of. An excellent source of vitamin A and fiber, it's a good way to add nutrients to the diet and enjoy doing so at the same time!

Pumpkin Pie

1 package MoriNu tofu
1 cup soymilk
1 can pumpkin, small size
3/4 cup sugar (may use alternative natural sweeteners instead)*
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tp. ginger
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 unbaked pie shell, gluten free

Blend MoriNu Tofu and soymilk together. Mix tofu mixture and remaining ingredients well and pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 C) for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, or until knife inserted in center and comes out clean.

Cool completely and serve with favorite whipped topping. Enjoy!

*Alternative sweeteners: stevia, date sugar, Sucanat, maple syrup, agave syrup, etc. If using a liquid sweetener, add a small amount of cornstarch to the filling to assist with thickening.

  1. My husband always asks why we don't have pumpkin pie more often through out the year. That and eggnog. Well I can't control the eggnog issue since I don't determine what is bought for the grocery stores...but I can make pumpkin pies more often. And yours look beautiful.

    Love,
