Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Adapted from 101 Cookbooks. I used unprocessed sugar and my own spice blend, and opted for light coconut milk to lighten up the recipe a bit. Although roasting fresh pumpkin makes this a richer tasting pumpkin pie, in a pinch, feel free to use canned pumpkin puree.
