Pumpkin Pie

INGREDIENTS

Serves 6-8 

• 16 to 24 ounces silken tofu
• 2 cups pumpkin purée
• ¾ cup maple or agave syrup
• ¾ cup evaporated cane sugar
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 9-inch unbaked pie shell

HOW TO MAKE

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Combine all of the filling ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie shell.
3. Bake for 30 minutes, then turn down the oven temperature to 350°F. Bake for another 30-45 minutes or until the center of the pie appears set.
4. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Chill for at least 2 hours to allow the pie to firm up even more.
