Pumpkin Pie is so much easier when you eat eggs. Seriously though, without them it can be challenging to master – which I never knew until I changed to a vegan diet.
Usually it requires corn starch… which isn’t really our thing. Or tofu… which I just can’t seem to bring myself to put in dessert recipes, I’m sure it’s fine but it’s one of my quirks.
So I’m left with arrowroot, which is also freaky because if you use too much it’s like goop or gack (I later decided after a failed attempt). I decided I’d just skip the traditional version and make a pumpkin pudding and dark chocolate gauche and pour them into a gluten free pie crust and call it good!
And boy is it good.
This recipe is super rich… a very small slice will do.
