<p>For many years, I thought maybe pumpkin pie wasn&#8217;t in the cards for me because I had given up eggs. After a failed attempt at using flax meal to thicken the filling last year (NEVER USE FLAX MEAL IN PUMPKIN PIE!) I was feeling pretty discouraged. This year for Canadian Thanksgiving  I was tasked with making the desserts. What&#8217;s Thanksgiving without a pumpkin pie, right? So hesitantly, I used cornstarch in the pie filling much like my <a title="Silk Chocolate Pie" href="http://crueltyfreefamily.com/?p=434" target="_blank">chocolate silk pie</a> and hoped for the best. It works! The outcome was delicious and after tweaking a little bit, I think this recipe is pretty near perfect.</p>

<div class="recipe">

<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<h3>For the crust:</h3>
<ul>
<li>1/4 cup almond milk</li>
<li>1 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar</li>
<li>1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons flour</li>
<li>1 tablespoon sugar</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>1/4 cup vegetable shortening</li>
</ul>
<h3>For the filling:</h3>
<ul>
<li>796 ml can pumpkin purée</li>
<li>1/4 cup sugar</li>
<li>1/4 cup brown sugar, packed</li>
<li>1 teaspoon vanilla</li>
<li>1 tablespoon melted coconut oil</li>
<li>2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon ground clove</li>
<li>1 teaspoon cinnamon</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon ginger</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon nutmeg</li>
<li>pinch of salt</li>
</ul>
<h3>Cream Topping:</h3>
<ul>
<li>2 cans full fat coconut milk, chilled overnight</li>
<li>1/4 cup powdered sugar</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon vanilla</li>
</ul>
<h2>Directions</h2>
<ol>
<li>In a small bowl, add milk and apple cider vinegar. Set Aside.</li>
<li>In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add shortening. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the shortening. Continue until shortening pieces are pea-sized. Pour in milk and kneed lightly until just starting to combine. You don&#8217;t want to overwork the dough. You want to still see bits of shortening within the dough. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in fridge for at least a few hours to chill.</li>
<li>To make the filling, whisk all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Set aside.</li>
<li>Preheat oven to 350 degrees</li>
<li>Roll out crust on a floured surface. Transfer to 8.5 inch pie plate. Push dough gently into the plate, making sure there aren&#8217;t any air pockets. Trim extra dough around edges, pinch or design as desired.</li>
<li>Pour filling into the pie plate. Smooth with spatula or spoon.</li>
<li>Place in oven and bake for 55-60 minutes.</li>
<li>To make the cream, chill a large bowl in the freezer for ten minutes. Take out and scoop the fat of the coconut milk into the bowl, leaving behind the liquid. Add powdered sugar and vanilla to the bowl and whisk with an electric beater until the cream has become fluffy and is completely smooth.</li>
<li>Chill pie completely before putting cream on top! Sprinkle with cinnamon.</li>
<li>Enjoy! Keep in refrigerator for up to three days.</li>

<p>If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with spirulina, it&#8217;s really time to get acquainted with this amazing superfood! It&#8217;s protein packed, detoxifying, speeds up your metabolism, I could really go on forever here. Sayyyyy what? Speed up metabolism while eating dessert? Yes. Detox while eating cheesecake? Hell to the yes. The best part is, aside from it&#8217;s beautiful &#8220;minty&#8221; colour, you won&#8217;t even know it&#8217;s there!</p>

<p>I know what you’re thinking, which is exactly what my husband was thinking, beets do not belong in ice cream. I will admit, even I was a little skeptical when I put a spoonful of the unfrozen mixture into my mouth. My eyes opened wide, I looked at my husband and said “Holy hell! That’s gooooooddd!” Then I crossed my fingers and hoped it would freeze into a beautiful, creamy ice cream. Sure enough, it did!</p>
<p>So here you have it, a delicious, creamy ice cream with hints of coconut and vanilla, just the right amount beet flavour, AND bonus, the beautiful beet colour!</p>

<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<ul>
<li>1 beet, peeled and quartered</li>
<li>2 teaspoons vanilla extract</li>
<li>1/4 cup maple syrup</li>
<li>1/4 cup coconut sugar</li>
<li>Liquid from 1 14 oz can chickpeas</li>
<li>1 can full fat coconut milk, chilled over night</li>
<li>Orange zest for garnish</li>
</ul>
<h2>Directions</h2>
<ol>
<li>Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place peeled and quartered beet in an oven safe dish. Cover with foil.  Roast until tender, about an hour. Begin checking at the 40 minute mark.</li>
<li>Place roasted beet in a blender with vanilla, maple syrup, and coconut sugar. Blend until COMPLETELY smooth. Set aside</li>
<li>Line a dish with parchment paper. I use a loaf pan.</li>
<li>Pour one can’s worth of chickpea liquid into a large bowl. Whip on high with electric mixer until white, fluffy, and stiff peaks will hold in the meringue. This takes a while, so be patient. About 5-7 minutes. Set aside.</li>
<li>Open the can of coconut milk and scoop the layer of fat off the top. Place in a medium bowl. Whip on high with your electric mixer until light, fluffy, and it has become whipped cream consistency.</li>
<li>Fold coconut whipped cream into the aquafaba meringue. Then fold in your beet syrup gently. Make sure everything is incorporated, but try not to over mix, as you want to keep the air in the mixture.</li>
<li>Pour mixture into loaf pan and place in the freezer. Allow to freeze overnight.</li>
<li>Remove ice cream from the loaf pan and place in a food processor. Mix until smooth. At this time, you can serve as soft serve ice cream. I like the place back in loaf pan and freeze for another hour or so to firm up a bit.</li>
<li>Enjoy!</li>

<p>I knew that avocado desserts were a thing, but I was always afraid to try it because I strongly associate avocado with all things savory and garlicky. Well, I don&#8217;t know why I was so scared, because avocado desserts are delicious! The chocolate flavor takes the spotlight, while the avocado lends an incredible creamy texture. These truffles really only have three ingredients: avocado, chocolate, and whatever you choose to roll your truffles in.  Make a batch and share them with your sweetheart&#8230; Valentine&#8217;s day is right around the corner!</p>

<p>Like all crunchy moms, I love a good granola. But you know what I hate? That most granolas are full of  honey stolen from sweet little bees, or lots and lots of processed cane sugar. I&#8217;ve really been into using coconut sugar and coconut nectar as sweeteners lately, and thought that coconut nectar would be great in granola. This recipe is the perfect sweet-but-not-too-sweet snack for all you crunchy folks out there! Feel free to get creative with the nut/seed/spice combination you use in this recipe, I just used the nuts and seeds I happened to have on hand!</p>

<p>This recipe came about the way most of my recipes come about. I have too much of something, or not enough of something, and I cook accordingly.</p>
<p>Strawberries are a huge deal in my house. They are the only fruit my four year old will eat. So we buy them. Even though they are out of season, cost a fortune, and the quality is poor.</p>
<p>Well, raspberries were on sale this week. Buy 1 Get 1 FREE, in fact. So I got them, and thought I could call them &#8220;baby strawberries&#8221;, and maybe my girl would eat them. Turns out, NO.  So I was left with lots of raspberries. And of course I could have made smoothies with them. But c&#8217;mon. Raspberry. Cookie. Crumble.</p>

<p>My mom has been making this coffee cake for breakfast on Christmas morning for as long as I can remember. The original recipe is full of butter, eggs, sour cream, and sugar. I veganized the recipe, but I&#8217;ve left in all the sugary deliciousness, because if you&#8217;re going to eat cake on Christmas morning, it should be decadent! I highly recommend making this coffee cake on Christmas Eve so that it&#8217;s easy to serve Christmas morning.</p>

<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<ul>
<li>2 tablespoons of coconut oil or vegan butter (for greasing)</li>
<li>3/4 cup brown sugar</li>
<li>1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon</li>
<li>3 cups all purpose flour</li>
<li>2 teaspoons baking powder</li>
<li>1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>1 1/2 cups sugar</li>
<li>3/4 cup vegan butter</li>
<li>2 teaspoons vanilla extract</li>
<li>3 tablespoons ground golden flax seeds</li>
<li>3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar</li>
<li>6 tablespoons water</li>
<li>1 1/2 cups silken tofu (about 16 oz)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Directions</h2>
<ol>
<li>Preheat the oven to 350 F. Thoroughly grease a 10 inch 2-piece tube pan (angel food cake pan) with coconut oil or vegan butter.</li>
<li>Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside</li>
<li>In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.</li>
<li>In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar and mix throughly. Then, add the vanilla, flax, vinegar and water, and mix until everything is smooth and well-combined.</li>
<li>Take the tofu out of the package, and use the electric mixer to blend the tofu in a small bowl until it is the texture of sour cream or yogurt. Measure 1 1/2 cups of the tofu. Add it to the wet mixture.</li>
<li>Slowly mix the flour into the wet mixture to form a thick batter.</li>
<li>Pour 1/3 of the batter into the greased pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle 1/3 of  the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top. Repeat 2 more times.</li>
<li>Bake for 1 hour. Let cool completely before removing from the pan.</li>
<li>Serve! Store covered, at room temperature.</li>

<p>Chia Seeds are magical. They&#8217;re really, really good for you. They&#8217;re great in smoothies. And when you put them into liquid&#8230; they magically turn into gel! Because of the latter, chia seeds are a great choice for thickening jams and making pudding. This chia pudding tastes a lot like apple pie filling, but it&#8217;s a lot healthier. It&#8217;s great plain, or as a topping for pancakes or oatmeal. Of course, if you want to be decadent, top it off with some homemade coconut whipped cream!</p>
