- 3 tbsp melted unsealed ghee
For the filling
- 1 15oz can organic pumpkin puree
- 1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk

Instructions
- Prepare the crust: preheat oven to 350 F. Add walnuts, baking soda and salt in a food processor and blend until finely ground. Add in ghee and pulse until mixed in. Transfer to pie pan and use fingers to spread the crust, thinner across the bottom and a bit thicker around the edges. Bake for 15 minutes, placing a baking sheet underneath pan, so crust doesn’t burn. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl; in a separate bowl, whisk wet ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into bowl with dry ingredients and mix. Pour filling on top of the baked crust and bake for 1 hour or until the center of the pie is firm., again, placing a baking sheet underneath to keep the crust from burning.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing, and top with favorite whipped topping.
