Ingredients
PIE CRUST:
½ cup cold butter / cold coconut oil
¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tbsp organic cane sugar
3 to 4 Tablespoons very cold water
FILLING:
2 RS eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups pureed fresh RS pumpkin
1/4 cup organic heavy cream
3/4 cup organic cane sugar
1 tbsp organic all-purpose flour
1 tsp pure vanilla
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp ground organic cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground organic nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground organic allspice

Instructions
Place butter, flour, salt, sugar in food processor, pulse until mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs
Slowly add water with processor running until dough comes together.
Form into a 5-inch disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes before rolling. This will make the dough more elastic and easier to handle.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, into a 12-round; fit pastry into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim away excess allowing ½ to ¾- inch over hang. Fold dough edge under and crimp or flute. Place in fridge until filling is ready.
In a large bowl stir together eggs, pumpkin, and cream.
Stir in sugar, flour, vanilla, salt, and spices.
Pour pumpkin mixture into pastry-lined pie plate.
To prevent over browning, cover edge of pie with foil.
Bake in 375 F oven for 25 minutes.
Remove foil.
Bake for 40 minutes more or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Cover and refrigerate within 2 hours
Serve with fresh whipped cream, enjoy!
