This variation on the classic Libby’s pumpkin pie is safe for those who cannot have dairy due to health or religious concerns but can be served to anyone with pride. This recipe is scaled to make 1 pie. Feel free to double it.

A note for those with soy/nut intolerance or allergies: Feel free to make homemade sunflower seed or rice cream, using the same proportions as given in our Almond Cream recipe. (You’ll want to use cooked rice, preferably short grain)

1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 large eggs

1 recipe Mom’s Pie Crust or Perfect Pie Crust

Homemade Almond Cream

1/2 c blanched almonds
To make:
