Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425° F for 15 minutes.

  3. In a small bowl, combine Swerve, cinnamon, salt, ginger and cloves.
  4. Add the pumpkin and the sweetener/spice mixture to the eggs. Mix well.
  5. Gradually stir in the coconut cream.
  6. Pour the entire mixture into the pie shell.
  7. Reduce temperature to 350° and bake for 40-50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.
  8. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours.
  9. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
  10. If desired, top with whipped cream before serving.

Notes

I would suggest making the pie a couple of days in advance. Wrap it well and store in the refrigerator. Simply take it out of the refrigerator Thanksgiving morning and set it in a corner to come to room temperature before dinner time.

Nutritional Info does not include whipped cream.

VARIATIONS
For a Paleo friendly version, replace the Swerve sweetener with finely granulated coconut sugar.

  1. Is coconut cream the same as coconut milk?

    • Coconut milk has the liquid consistency of cow’s milk and is made from simmering one part shredded coconut in one part water. Coconut milk is the basis of most Thai curries.

      Coconut cream is much thicker and richer. It is made from simmering four parts shredded coconut in one part water.
