Decadent Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie

One of my favorite treats is a rich, creamy pumpkin pie.  I created this delicious and nutritious option to have all the taste of a traditional pumpkin pie, without all the nasty ingredients.  Enjoy.

Crust:

2-1/2 cups spelt or whole wheat flour (or another whole grain flour)

½ cup white unbleached flour

½ cup cold-pressed walnut oil or extra virgin olive oil

¾ cup of icy cold water

pinch of salt

Mix all ingredients together in a food processor until marbled-looking.  Then, roll out into a thin layer and place in a pie plate.  Using a fork, make small perforations in the bottom of the dough to allow air to escape while baking.  Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Filling:

2 cups cooked pumpkin

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup maple syrup

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/3 cup almond milk

½ teaspoon ginger

½ teaspoon cloves

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1 Tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot

½ block of firm organic tofu

Mix all filling ingredients together in a food processor until smooth and creamy.  Pour into the piecrust and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.  Let cool.  Refrigerate.
