Picture this: it's Saturday night and it's 12 degrees out...you got a great film, Jim Jarmusch's "Dead Man". But no dessert.
Your lady wants a sweet treat. Do you need to be told twice? Up you spring, coat, hat, scarf, shoes, and out you go to the store to pick up a can of pumpkin, an eggless pie crust (Keebler's Graham), cornstarch and a few other things.
Dash home and your eyes are raining because of the cold and wind, but you made it!.
Mix it all up in less than 5 minutes, pop it in the oven, let it cool and at 10:30, ya stop the movie, slice up the pie, spray it with whipped cream, fire up some coffee, and a feast to behold is had.
Pumpkin Custard Pie
Serves 6-8
* 1-1/2 cups soymilk
* 4 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1-1/2 cups cooked pumpkin
* 1/2 cup raw sugar or other sweetener
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
* 1 9-inch unbaked pie shell
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Whisk milk and cornstarch together, well. Add other ingredients, beat it up, dump it into pie crust.
Bake for 1 hour. Recipe calls for 45 minutes but pie was runny at 45.
It's vegan, by the way. No chicken.
