3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1 packet of Knox unflavored gelatin
1 (15 oz.) can Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin
12 fl. Oz. evaporated milk (see recipe below)
1 (9 inch) baked deep dish pie shell (see recipe below)

Bake pie crust at 425ºF for 15 min. Take out of oven and let cool. Mix sugar, spices, gelatin, and milk in a small saucepan. Heat to a boil and stir gently until dissolved (about 5 min.).  Stir and beat gelatin mixture into pumpkin. Pour into pie crust. Refrigerate until firm.

Pie Crust

1 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour (We use Bette Hagman flour mixture.)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup. Spectrum shortening
4-5 Tbsp. cold water

Sift flour and salt together; cut in shortening with pastry blender till pieces are the size of small peas. (For extra tender pastry, cut in half the shortening till like cornmeal. Cut in remaining till like small peas.) Sprinkle 1 TBS water over part of mixture. Gently toss with fork; push to side of bowl. Repeat till all is moistened.  Form into a ball. Press dough into the pie dish with your hands and mold the dough to the side of the pie dish. (It is too moist and not elastic enough to roll out.)  
 

Evaporated Milk
(Taken from Special Diets for Special Kids Two by Lisa Lewis, Ph.D.)

1 c. Vance DariFree powder
3/4 c. water
 

The crust can be baked, cooled, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, and stored at room temperature for one day.

Cookie-Almond Crust
4 cookies (I used Pamela's ginger cookies)
Handful of sliced almonds
About 4 ounces marzipan (mine was hard, so I microwaved to soften)
About 2+ tablespoons coconut oil (use more if necessary) or CF margarine

[Any cookies or nuts would work for this crust. But you may need to add sugar, if you're not using marzipan or lots of sweet cookies.]

Pumpkin Filling
3 tablespoons cold orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons gelatin (from 1 package)
1 cup coconut milk (other CF milk substitute would probably work okay too)
2/3 cup (4 3/4 ounces) sugar
3/4 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
3 large egg yolks
1 (15-ounce) can plain pumpkin puree (1 3/4 cups)

1. FOR THE CRUST: Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Pulse cookies, almonds and marzipan in food processor until evenly and finely ground, about fifteen 2-second pulses (you should have 1 cup crumbs). Add warm coconut oil in steady stream through feed tube while pulsing until crumbs are evenly moistened and resemble damp sand. Transfer crumbs to 9-inch pie plate and spread evenly over bottom and sides; wipe out food processor bowl and reserve. Using flat-bottomed ramekin or dry measuring cup, press and smooth crumbs into pie plate (see illustration, at left). Bake until fragrant and browned around edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack.

3. FOR THE FILLING: Stir orange juice and vanilla together in medium bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over orange juice mixture and set aside to thicken, about 5 minutes.

4. Combine 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/3 cup sugar, salt, and spices in small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until bubbles form at edges; remove from heat. Whisk remaining 1/3 cup sugar and yolks together in medium bowl until pale and slightly thickened. Slowly pour hot mixture into yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return mixture to pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly and scraping bottom of pot with heatproof spatula, until custard is thickened and registers 175 to 180 degrees on instant-read thermometer, about 2 minutes. (When properly cooked, custard should form slight ridge on tip of spatula when bottom of pan is scraped and spatula is lifted.) Immediately pour custard over gelatin mixture and stir until smooth and gelatin has completely dissolved.

5. Puree pumpkin in food processor until smooth, 10 to 15 seconds. With machine running, add remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk through feed tube in steady stream. Scrape sides of bowl and process for additional 10 to 15 seconds. Add pumpkin mixture to custard mixture and stir until completely smooth. Transfer filling to cooled crust. Chill pie, uncovered, until filling is just set, about 3 hours. Cover pie with plastic wrap and continue to chill until fully set, at least 6 and up to 24 hours. Cut pie into wedges and serve.
