Pumpkin Cheesecake & Everyday Paleo Pumpkin Pie

With Thanksgiving coming up I decided to try out some desserts to bring that would be primal friendly and something my wonderful husband could eat.


I first tried Primal Cheesecake. I got the recipe from wellnessmama.com... Amazing website.
Here is a bad picture I took. *NOTE* don't expose any of the almond crust because it will burn. lol

Here is the recipe!

Just to let you know I didn't really care for the crust! :(. The crust one the Everyday Paleo Pumpkin Pie by everydaypaleo.com is much better and the texture is more like a crumbly buttery goodness. :)


Here is the Everyday Paleo Pumpkin Pie recipe... amazing!

Here is a picture of the homemade pumpkin pie I made. so yummmy :)


Crust (I just used almonds)


1/2 cup hazelnuts
1 cup pecans
4 tablespoons melted organic grass fed butter
pinch of sea salt


Preheat oven to 350. Place the nuts in a food processor and process until the nuts are a flour like or almond meal like consistency. Pour into a small mixing bowl, add the butter and salt and mix into a thick dough. Using your hands, spread evenly into a pie pan and back for 10 minutes.


Filling


1 – 14oz can of organic pumpkin puree (nothing added, just pumpkin)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
2 eggs
1/2 cup raw organic honey
1/2 cup coconut milk


While the crust is in the oven, whisk all of the pie filling ingredients together.  Pour into the curst that has been baked for 10 minutes, return to the oven and bake for and additional 45 minutes.
