Carob Pudding Pie

On this first day of November I thought I would share with you a pie recipe. It's never too early to start getting your recipes ready for Thanksgiving! I loved this carob pudding pie! It was a huge hit at Canadian Thanksgiving last month. My one son was worried that there wasn't going to be any leftovers to take home so he piled a second plate really high just for him to take home. This is a gluten free pie, and you wouldn't know it by eating it. The carob powder is the best that I've come across. It has a really nice flavor to it. I'll share what brand it is with you on Friday. Happy November Baking, or non baking too! :]

Carob Pudding Pie

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup evaporated cane juice

1/4 carob powder

4 tablespoons cornstarch

2 1/4 cup rice milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Mix together salt, evaporated cane juice, and carob powder in a pot on stove top. Turn heat to medium. Gradually add 2 cups of the rice milk stirring until everything is dissolved. While you are waiting for that to come to a boil, mix 1/4 cup rice milk with the cornstarch until completely dissolved. When the carob mixture starts to boil add rice milk to mixture and whisk continually. Once it comes back to a boil, boil for one minute. Then remove and add vanilla. Let cool a little before adding to pie crust. Then add and place in fridge until completely cool. Serve cool with whip cream.

Gluten Free Graham Cracker Crust

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup gluten free graham crackers, crushed

1/4 cup evaporated cane juice

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

In a bowl combine graham crackers and cane juice. Transfer to a 9 inch pie pan. Add butter and mix well. Use the back of a spoon to smash crust evenly on the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pie pan. You might need to get your spoon a little wet to help smooth it out. Fill with carob pudding and put in fridge until ready to eat!
