KABOCHA (JAPANESE PUMPKIN) PIE WITH A COCONUT FLOUR CRUST



Kabocha (Japanese Pumpkin) Pie With a Coconut Flour Crust image

This tasty, even-lower-carb-than-pumpkin kabocha squash (aka Japanese pumpkin) pie has a texture very similar to pumpkin, but the taste is slightly different. Almost a little sweeter if you ask us. Some say it's a cross between pumpkin and sweet potato. This recipe is a 2-step process which requires the pie crust to be made first. For a Paleo, non-dairy version, just replace the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup graham crackers, crushed
½ cup all-purpose flour
⅛ cup light soy butter
1 tablespoon soy milk
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ⅓ cups kabocha squash - halved, peeled, seeded and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
⅔ cup silken tofu
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir the graham cracker crumbs together with the flour in a mixing bowl. Mix in the soy butter until the mixture is crumbly. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Pour in the soy milk, and stir to make a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Fit the crust into a 7 inch diameter pie plate. Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven until pale gold, about 15 minutes. Cool on a rack.
  • Pour about 1 inch of water into the bottom of a pan. Place the kabocha into a steamer basket fitted into the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, cover, and steam the squash until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Cool.
  • Place the kabocha into a blender or bowl of a food processor, and blend until smooth. Stir the tofu, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the kabocha mixture, and blend until very smooth. Pour into the prepared crust.
  • Bake in preheated oven until center is set, about 20 minutes. Do not overbake or the filling will crack.
