I am looking for a recipe for a pie that my extended family can eat for Thanksgiving...this means a combined total of no dairy, no sugar(as in stevia or xylitol only), no grains(I do have the crust idea under control)...I was thinking of using coconut milk with the pumpkin, but need help with the amount of stevia and or xylitol to use...what do you all think??? Thanks, Aura

Sat, November 17, 2007 - 5:05 PMahhh...somebody with my diet?
you should really get the book "Feast without Yeast" by Bruce Semon, MD, Phd and Lori Kornblum
there is a "spicy non dairy pumpkin pie filling" recipe on page 332.
not to mention hundreds of sugar free, grain free, yeast free, milk free, vinegar free recipes, plus loads of information even if you don't have these sensitivities and just want to avoid these things.
sorry I don't have time or energy to copy the recipe...get the book!
and coconut products, I agree, are the BOMB!!! "The Coconut Miracle" is on my list of books to buy.

Sat, November 17, 2007 - 6:01 PMI've been using liquid stevia for about a year now. I tried powder, didn't like the way it resisted dissolving.
Use about 2 drops of liquid stevia per cupful of filling, and adjust to taste. Add more very sparingly. -

Re: Dairy free, sugar free pumpkin pie ideas????
Mon, November 19, 2007 - 11:10 AMOkay...last night I mixed hazelnut meal, a little spice, and a little liquid stevia with coconut oil, and pressed that into a pie pan...I made the filling from pumpkin, coconut milk, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, liquid stevia, and two eggs, it baked for a whole hour at 350...it just kept looking wet...today I had a little bit, and I am pretty happy with the filling, but the crust is dissapointing...any grain free crust ideas tossed my way would be most welcome!
Thanks, Aura

Thu, November 22, 2007 - 4:50 AMHi,
This might be too late for your holiday meal, but for future reference..
I got this recipe off the website:
www.vegweb.com
I am not vegan, but you can look into vegan recipes often and substitute as needed. I liked it as it uses maple syrup for sweetening - but I am sure you can use the stevia as Sooz indicated. You can even taste the batter before you bake it - no eggs to deal with - to see if it is sweet enough. And you can skip the cocoa.
Chocolate Pumpkin Amazingness
1 pkg of silken tofu - can use firm for a different texture
2 cups cooked pumpkin puree
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup cocoa powder
pumpkin pie seasonings: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F
In blender: mix all ingredients, to make a batter like consistency.
Pour into 8x8 square pan, or a pie pan works.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, depending on how long you can wait.
Top with whipped cream, and cinnamon for looks. Can also be baked in a pie shell if desired.
