Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie
- 1 gluten-free dessert pastry shell (or another crust of your choosing), lining a 9-inch pie pan (unbaked)
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups pureed roasted pumpkin (see below) or canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar or raw light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons drained yogurt (or creme fraiche)
- Turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
- Place the rack on the lowest setting.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl and brush the pastry lightly with the beaten egg.
- Place in the oven and prebake 7 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, almond flour, molasses, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and salt in a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring with a heat-proof rubber spatula, until the mixture begins to sputter.
- Turn the heat to low and simmer, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and transfer to a food processor fitted with the steel blade or to a bowl if using a hand blender.
- Add the eggs, milk, and yogurt and blend until thoroughly combined and the mixture is very smooth.
- Scrape the puree into the pie shell.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out almost clean and the pie jiggles when gently shaken.
- It should not bake until it cracks.
- Remove from the heat and cool on a rack.
