Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 cups raw pecans
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup softened ghee (refined coconut oil also works)
Pumpkin Layer:
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (make sure it’s warm or easily pour-able)
- 3 eggs
- 4 tablespoons agave nectar (honey or maple syrup is fine too)
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted refined coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- optional: powdered sugar for sprinkling on top, whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add the pecans, almond flour, coconut sugar and salt to the food processor.
- Process until chunky and combined, about 10 seconds.
- Then, add in the ghee.
- Process for another 10 seconds until the ghee is incorporated and the mixture holds together when you press it between your fingers.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, coconut cream, eggs, agave, coconut sugar, vanilla, spices, and salt.
- Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper and spray the pan with your favorite baking spray. I like coconut oil spray!
- Use your hands or a rubber spatula to press the crust into the bottom of your pan.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture on top of the crust.
- Bake for 55 minutes.
- Put on an oven mitt and give the pan a little jiggle. There should be some slight movement but not too much and the top pumpkin layer should appear set and not wet.
- Allow the squares to come to room temperature before you cut into them.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar or dollop the squares with your favorite vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
