Toronto Nutritionist Janet Zdichavsky Pumpkin Coconut Cream Pie w Drizzled Chocolate + Walnut Crust 2
This pie was a HIT at Thanksgiving + I,ve made it again just because it was so good. The crust is filled with good fats from the pecans, the filling made with pumpkin which is nutrient dense with Vitamin A, + C, high in anti-oxidants + Lutein + Zeaxanthin (for eye sight) high in fiber + low in calories. You can enjoy this pie simple w the crust + filling, or add ad a drizzle of 70% Cacao chocolate + if you choose to top it off with a drollop of coconut whip cream or alot, your choice. Enjoy!
