Agave Nectar Recipes

Pumpkin Pie (Dairy Free) * Special Feature

Pumpkin Pie (Dairy-free)  

Ingredients: 

2 eggs
2/3 cup agave
2 Tablespoons arrowroot or corn starch powder
1 1/2 teaspoons  cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon  ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon real salt
2 cups of fresh, cooked pumpkin (or 1 16 oz can), blended and strained to remove excess water
1 cup coconut milk 

Directions: 

  1. Cut the pumpkin, skin included, into chunks and add to a cookie sheet with water on the bottom.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until pumpkin is soft.  Remove from oven and let cool.  Remove skins and measure 2 cups for the pie.
  2. Mix all of the filling ingredients in a food processor or blender.
  3. Pour the mixture into the uncooked pie shell. 
  4. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. A knife inserted into the center of the pie should come out nearly clean.
  5. Cool completely before cutting.  You can stick it in the refrigerator until you serve.

This recipe comes from Jennifer Baccellieri’s upcoming cookbook, “The Agave Syrup Cookbook:  A Complete Guide to Agave Nectar for Desserts and Beyond” which will be released at the beginning of the new year.
