Ingredients
-
6 sheets of Phyllo cut into squares, reserving extra for a different job
1 1/2 cups fresh pumpkin puree
1 1/2 Tbsp dark agave
1/3 cup raw sugar plus 2 Tbsp
1/2 cup silken tofu
1/2 cup Original Almond Breeze (or sub Soy milk)
1 Tbsp cornstarch
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground clove
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Canola oil spray
Directions
Preheat oven to 425.
Have pumpkin measured and pureed.
To make the filling:
Blend tofu and almond milk in the blender until smooth. Add pumpkin, cornstarch, 1/3 cup sugar and agave. Blend until smooth.
To make the crust:
take six sheets of Phyllo. Fold one corner to opposite side to measure out a square. (It'll look like a triangle with a leftover rectangle. Cut off the rectangle and reserve of another project.
Spray the bottom and sides of an 8" pie tin with Canola oil spray. Lay one square of phyllo over pan. Press into pan. Spray with oil spray and sprinkle with a little bit of the reserved sugar. Lay a second sheet slightly off a direct overlap. Repeat the spray and sugar. Contine to sort of pinwheel each new sheet around the pie pan until you've used all six. Finish with spray and sugar. Roll extra phyllo that will be overhanging the tin, under itself, tucking all loose edges.
Fill with filling.
Bake 10 minutes at 425. Reduce heat to 350 and bake another 25 minutes.
