My Foodie Call

Let’s blend the holiday season, shall we? Eggnog pumpkin pie.

Thanksgiving is almost here, hooray. I can’t wait to make my vegetarian “stuffing in a pumpkin.” It’s been two years since I have made it and I’m bringing it back. Then one of my favorite times of the year.

Egg Nog season. LOVE IT.

Decided to blend the holidays in this dessert.

Vegan Eggnog in my pumpkin pie?

Yes, please.

One caveat to this recipe. After it is baked, it needs to set in the refrigerator over night, so plan ahead. But seriously, the recipe itself is so dang easy, who cares if it needs some chillin time.

Love the dairy-free egg nog brands out there.

In this recipe I used So Delicious Nog, but they are all pretty great.

This pie has no egg and does not need much additional sugar because of the sweetness from the Nog Coconut Milk. I also love that in this pie I was able to use molasses. Remember that molasses is a great source of calcium??

Vegan “Egg” Nog Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients

• 1 can pumpkin
• 1 cup non-dairy eggnog
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (or sucanat)

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp. ground ginger

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. In large bowl, use a hand mixer to blend all ingredients until smooth.
3. Pour into crust. Bake 10 minutes.
4. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; bake until filling is set, 45- 50 minutes.
