    No Bake Pumpkin Pie with a Gingerbread Hazelnut Crust – a healthier, no bake version of a Thanksgiving classic.

    No Bake Pumpkin Pie w/ Gingerbread Hazelnut Crust

    I think it’s safe to say that nearly every American Thanksgiving table will hold a pumpkin pie at some point during the holiday. However, Pumpkin Pie seems to be a love or hate kind of dish. Which side of the fence are you on?

    I happen to love Pumpkin Pie! I am not much of a pie baker though.  Homemade pie crust intimidates me (not sure why, I have NEVER tried it) and store bought pie crust likely contains a whole lot of questionable ingredients.

    Enter the No Bake Pumpkin Pie w/ Gingerbread Hazelnut Crust. Sounds fancy, no? It really couldn’t be easier. This pie filling you will want to eat with a spoon all by itself. I did, I’m not ashamed. I took one bite on a spoon to test it and then couldn’t stop myself. Luckily, I still had plenty to fill my crust.

    This pumpkin pie is high in protein due to the beans and nuts. It’s high in potassium, vitamin B6 and iron due to the molasses. Vitamins A and C are plentiful due to the pumpkin.

    It may be healthy and have some sneaky ingredients (I’m looking at you, chickpeas!), but it’s kid approved!  All 3 of my kids loved this!

    I tried storing a few pieces in the fridge and it worked ok, but the filling got VERY soft and the top started to slide off the crust. Therefore, I suggest strong this pie in the freezer and letting it sit out a bit to thaw before serving.

      With all that nutrition this is barely a dessert 😉 Meaning that I can feel good about eating slice after slice after slice!
