Vegan Pumpkin Pie
This guilt-free wonder only has 77 calories a slice–which has led my husband to eat two or three slices in a row and respond to my raised eyebrows with a shrug. You absolutely cannot tell the difference between this tasty pie and the “real” thing. The flavor is dead-on. I think the only real difference is that this one is crustless. This pie was a hit at Thanksgiving and Christmas and the last time we had company over. The recipe is courtesy of the Happy Herbivore cookbook.
