Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 can organic evaporated milk
• 1 can organic pumpkin puree
• 2 cups of sweet potato puree
• ¼ to ½  cup of cream (depending on the consistency)

* Pie Crust has to chill for 1 hour

Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pie Crust

I used organic butter and Crisco but you can substitute the dough with more butter instead of shortening if you want.

1. Follow directions on back of GF crust bag and chill in fridge for 1 hour.
2. I  did not roll out the dough, I found it too hard, instead I pushed the dough out until it spread evenly across the pie pan using a fist with my hand.

* Pre-heat oven to 425 F

Pumpkin Pie Filling

1. Mix together in a large bowl eggs, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, cream, and spices until smooth. If the consistency of the filling seems to be a little “chunky” add more cream to it.
2. Pour into pie crusts.
3. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes then drop temperature to 350 F for 35-45 min. If the middle is not jiggly anymore then you can take it out and let cool before serving.

Whipping Cream Topping

1. Pour 1 quart of heavy cream into a mixer and mix on high until whipped.
2. Put a spoonful of whipped cream on your tasty pumpkin pie and serve!
