INGREDIENT NOTES:

PUMPKIN PUREE:

• This is the core product for the main flavor in the pie. This puree provides a nice color to the dessert as well. Be sure to utilize plain pumpkin puree. For an alternative, try using butternut squash puree.

UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK:

• Use the unsweetened one so that you can maintain the level of sweetness in the pie. Its addition will create a consistency like a custard, and the pie will become moist. Coconut or oat milk will also work just fine.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

• The addition of this product can make the taste of the pie better and improve the scent of the dessert. Vanilla powder can be a good substitute.

BROWN SUGAR:

• A caramel taste comes along with the addition of this brown sugar. It will also sweeten the pie easily. Substitutes for this can include maple or date syrup. Utilizing liquid sweeteners will require you to lower the use of milk just a little bit.

CORNSTARCH:

• Your pie will set properly with cornstarch. You will not need eggs in this case. Another idea for this can be the use of tapioca starch.

PUMPKIN PIE SPICE:

• The classic taste of the pie comes along with its use. For an alternative, you can use the separate spices that are present in this ingredient.

GROUND CINNAMON:

• This will improve the sweet taste in the pie. You can also consider the use of nutmeg as an alternative.

SALT:

• The extra sweet flavor comes into balance when we add salt to the pie.
