It’s always a pleasant surprise when a recipe experiment turns out just right! This dairy and gluten free pumpkin pie recipe is a fantastic twist on an old classic. While appearing 'crustless', this pie has a little secret - the crust is on the inside. Read more to see what I mean...
I’ve always found that dairy free pumpkin pie recipes take sooo long to cook. For example, "add 2 cups of soymilk and bake for 60 minutes," but oh wait, just kidding, really 2 hours. Therefore, my solution to this problem was to mix the crust into the pie!
Adding ⅓ cups (32 g) of almond flour to the custard base gives the pie a unique texture and absorbs some of the liquid, thus shortening the cooking time to 25 minutes! This delightful addition also adds a bit of that nutty crust flavor to every delicious bite.
We also think almond flour makes this officially a breakfast food.

I love this! So easy. You captured the flavor perfectly, and the "crust in the pie" is so clever and makes so much sense. Good job, Jamie!
