Start with your crust. You can use whatever. Ground almonds make a really yummy 'graham cracker' style crust which is a nice change from a regular crust.

Then, the pumpkin!

1 can pumpkin
1 can coconut milk, full fat NOT lite
2 eggs
3/4c coconut sugar, 1/2c maple sugar, or 2/3c agave
1/2t salt
1t cinnamon
1/2t ginger
1/4t cloves
Toss all this in the blender and pour into your crust. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. Turn down the oven to 350 and bake 35 more minutes. That's it. I'll add some pictures when ours is done!
