Who else still has canned pumpkin left over from thanksgiving? Want a little pumpkin pie flavor that’s vegan and gluten free? Well…here’s the ticket!
this recipe requires no baking, no gluten, and almost no effort! Simply blend, mix, layer and ta da! Enjoy!
Pecans. I used pecans for the crust but walnuts or any hardy nut will work great.
Pumpkin purée. I used canned but really any pumpkin (or sweet potato) purée will do. Maybe even try butternut squash purée.
Canned coconut milk. I wouldn’t recommend using normal coconut milk. Canned has a better flavor and is thicker.
Maple syrup. Agave or rice syrup will work too.
