Coco Nutty Pumpkin Pie Food

PUMPKIN-COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 325˚. Combine the graham crackers and granulated sugar in a food processor and process into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and process until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie plate. Using your fingers, evenly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake until the crust is golden and firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the filling: Combine the pumpkin, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup cream of coconut, the granulated sugar, eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract, the ginger, allspice and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust. Bake until set and just barely jiggly in the center, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer the pie to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the topping: Spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake until toasted and golden brown around the edges, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Combine the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Fold in the remaining 1/3 cup cream of coconut until just combined (do not overmix). Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the cream on the pie and sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

PUMPKIN-COCONUT PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, coconut, 2 tablespoons butter, the shortening and salt in a food processor until it looks like fine meal. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; use the plastic to help form the dough into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. (The dough can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature.)
• Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate, fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers. Chill at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until golden around the edge, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking 5 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Gently whisk the pumpkin, coconut milk, sugar, eggs, rum, vanilla, cinnamon and allspice in a large bowl until combined. Pour into the prepared crust and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake 1 hour. Sprinkle more coconut around the edge of the pie; continue baking until the center is almost set but still jiggles slightly, about 15 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

KETO PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Add the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and cream cheese and pulse until the mixture is very crumbly with pea-size pieces of butter. Add the egg and continue to pulse just until the dough begins to come together in a shaggy mass. Dump the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap, hold onto the edges and use the plastic to knead the dough gently into a mass. Pat it into a disc and wrap it tightly in the plastic. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Spray a 9-inch pie dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• Dust a sheet of parchment lightly with coconut flour. Place the chilled dough disc in the center of the parchment, dust the top lightly with more coconut flour and place a second sheet of parchment on top. Use a rolling pin to gently roll the dough into a round big enough to fit in the prepared pie dish. This is a very delicate dough that might crack or break; if this happens, press the cracks together. If the dough becomes too warm and unmanageable, place the entire piece of parchment on a baking sheet and refrigerate to chill before continuing to roll out.
• Use the parchment to help you transfer the dough to the prepared pie dish. Again, the dough may crack and break at points. It's ok to press it back together with your fingers. Trim the edges and crimp as desired. Place the pie crust in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together the sweetener, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Beat the pumpkin, cream, molasses if using, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl with a hand mixer until well incorporated. Add the sweetener mixture and continue to beat until well incorporated.
• Transfer the frozen pie shell to a baking sheet and cover the edges of the crust loosely with foil. Pour the filling into the center and bake for 50 minutes. Gently remove the foil from the edges and continue to bake until the edges are a very deep golden brown and the filling is set a couple inches from the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let cool completely (see Cook's Note).
• For the whipped cream: Add the cream and sweetener to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Serve the pie slices with a dollop of whipped cream.

GINGER-COCONUT PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pulse the cookies, crystallized ginger and brown sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse to combine. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until set and slightly dry around the edge, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool.
• Make the filling: Whisk the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, ground ginger and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Pour into the cooled crust. Bake until the filling is set and no longer looks wet, 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer to the rack and let cool completely, at least 2 hours.
• Make the topping: Beat the heavy cream, brown sugar and pie spice in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 3 minutes. Spread on the pie; sprinkle with more pie spice.

CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• For the pie crust: Combine the flour, sugar, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until coarse, with small marbles of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the ice water, then pulse until crumbly and the dough holds together when squeezed. (If too dry, add another sprinkle of water, but do not over mix.) Transfer the dough to a plastic bag, press into a disk and refrigerate for one hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Roll out the dough on floured surface, then press it into a deep 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges to leave 1 inch of overhang, fold it under and flute the edges. Cut a piece of parchment or nonstick foil to the size of the pie plate and use it to line the pie crust. Fill with pie weights and bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove the pie weights and return the pie dough to the oven to dry out, about 8 minutes.
• Lower the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the filling: In a double boiler, melt the semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate and butter, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, light brown sugar, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Fold in the melted chocolate mixture. Set the pie plate on a baking sheet and pour the filling into the crust. Bake until the center of the pie has just about set but still has a slight jiggle, about 1 hour. Let cool completely before serving. Top with chocolate shavings.
