For gluten-free dairyfree pumpkin pie is On my website clean eating kitchen.com And I'm going to show you how you can Scroll down and I always have a Printable recipe uh for each recipe post I have Stepbystep um photo steps so you can see Exactly how to do it and nutrition Information and everything so I will put The link to that in the description box So you can get the printable recipe and Here are the ingredients that you'll Need for this pumpkin pie and just to be Clear it's made using canned coconut Milk so that is what replaces the milk Or the cream or whatever dairy product You would use in a regular traditional Pumpkin pie and also to be clear I do Not make my own crust remember we're Trying to make the holidays easy this Year so I buy these gluten-free pie Crusts they are also free and then this Coconut whipped topping I feel like this Is this uh brand by so delicious is Pretty much the cleanest non-dairy Topping that I've been able to find and Then here I'm showing you how I get Prepare the pie crust because it's Frozen and you have to let it sit out For a little bit while you preheat your Oven and get the pumpkin pie filled Made and so as the base we are using two Large eggs and I am using coconut sugar Here to sweeten the pie filling you
Could also use white sugar I just always Have coconut sugar in my pantry and I Prefer it over white sugar it is has a Slightly lower it's slightly lower on The glycemic index but I will make a Note or I want to make a note to you That if you use coconut sugar as opposed To white sugar your pumpkin pie will be A lot darker you may have noticed that In the beginning clips and that it Almost looks like the pumpkin pie is BT But it's not it's because the coconut Sugar makes it so dark oh I'm showing You that little spatula that A friend Gave me last year it says holiday Calories don't count and then I'm adding A can a 15 o can of pure pumpkin puree And I you'll see I noted in the recipe If you get it from my website it's not Pumpkin pie filling which that already Has um like sugar in it um you want pure Pumpkin puree and then I'm adding some Coconut milk and I'm showing you here Because you don't need the whole can so I made a little zip lock bag that I'm Going to freeze the rest of the canned Coconut milk so it doesn't go to waste And I will use it in another recipe I Might make another pumpkin pie for Christmas or New Year's um or I use Coconut milk in a lot of other dishes Like curries anything where I'm Replacing milk or cream I use canned Coconut milk so I added some vanilla and
Here I'm adding the pumpkin pie spice Which I know in a lot of places they Don't people aren't familiar with Pumpkin pie spice it's cinnamon ginger Lemon Pill N nutmeg cloves and cardamom At least that is the mixture sold by Trader Joe's which is where I purchased This pumpkin pie spice and then I like To add a little bit extra cinnamon Ground cinnamon I just really like the Flavor in the pumpkin pie and um I don't Know I don't think it's too strong I Think it's Perfect so this pie is just so easy to Make you really um just make the um Filling and pour it into the pie I will Say I think my coconut milk was a little Bit old and it had kind of some chunks Of the coconut um fat had kind of like Congealed and so um the pie it looks Like there's stuff in the mixture but It's you can see it all kind of melts Together and here's what I was talking About how the pumpkin pie looks like It's burnt if you use coconut sugar if You use white sugar it will be just a Normal orange color like pumpkin pie Normally is so that is how I make the Recipe it is a household favorite at my House I make at least two a year and Sometimes more because my husband I Really love it and then um again just to Make things easy I like to buy the Pre-made coconut milk whip topping and
It's really perfect and so I please let Me know if you make it I would love to Know if you make it this year so I know This time of year can be really Stressful there's a lot going on there's A lot of expectations about what the Holiday should be like but especially if You're dealing with chronic health Issues there are some things that you Need to remember to take care of Yourself and hopefully make this time of Year more enjoyable and less stressful So my first tip is to think of a plan of How you want the holiday season to go And that could be anything from having It be a cozy season to having it be Filled with friends or maybe certain Meals that you want to make but if you Kind of have a general idea of what you Want to do and then you can and how you Want to feel during this season then you Can kind of plan your time around that And just to give you an idea of how I Make that work for me uh many years ago I would say maybe five or six years ago I did the typical thing where I traveled Around the holidays to be with family Was incredibly stressful and partially Because I my family is um not let's just Say a little bit on the dysfunctional Side and so it wasn't like traveling and Putting up with a lot of stress and then It would be a really happy uh easy time It ended up being very stressful so if
You're in that situation or whatever Situation you're in I would just say to Put some boundaries around your time and Your needs and so you make the holidays Um what is special for you and um even If that means um breaking some Traditions but you know it's your life And it's your health and so I would Really emphasize to do what you need to Do to make this time um good for you so In addition to setting some boundaries With your family and with your time and Making a plan I would also say that you Will need to be flexible because things Change of course you know that and just Have that in your mind that maybe you Have a rough schedule or a rough idea of How you want the holidays to go but then You can allow yourself to be flexible You know if an invitation comes up and You feel like you want to take advantage Of it then go for it another one of my Tips is to try to keep to your normal Schedule as much as possible so that Means keeping to your exercise routine To your normal type of diet to your Supplement routine um even if you're Traveling or you're eating things that Maybe you normally wouldn't um just try To make an effort on a daily basis to do Kind of the basic things to keep Yourself healthy that you would do on a Normal basis and my last two tips would Be to prioritize rest during the holiday
Season during these winter months uh if You think about it this time of year is Really meant to be for a slowing down Maybe recuperating from the year maybe Taking some time to plan for the new Year and so really um take some time to Do do um some restful things um maybe Prioritize your sleep and make sure You're getting enough sleep during this Time that can really help you with Symptoms and Stress Management and then My last tip is to practice as much Self-care as you can and that's going to Be different for everybody for me that Means taking hot baths several times a Week I have a sauna that I purchased Last year and now it's finally getting a Little chilly so I'm more inclined to Use it it can mean um really anything It's going to be very individual but um Understand that self-care is not selfish It's actually really important because When you take care of yourself then you Can take care of others more effectively And that is really everything I wanted To share with you I hope you enjoyed the Video I hope you have wonderful happy And healthy holiday season and I'm going To link to my cinnamon sweet potato Bread recipe it's several years old but It's a really great recipe it's warming And comforting it's gluten-free and Dairy free and I will see you in the Next video take
