I am really on a pumpkin spice bender this fall. It’s kind of ridiculous. As soon as the weather cooled down a little, I wanted to make a pumpkin pie right away.

This version of the recipe is still rich, with cashew, hazelnut and coconut cream, but is almost half of the calories of my previous pie!

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon sea salt

Pumpkin Pie Filling

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon soy lecithin granules (optional)
