Chocolate Crusted Pumpkin Pie

So I finally mustered up the courage to make Pumpkin Pie at home. It was a daunting task but it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself! And best of all, my boys gave it their seal of approval!

With scratch made pumpkin puree ready ( the recipe of which I had found on Pinterest ) I went about baking the pie.

notes

* Jo Jo’s are oreo type cookies available at Trader Jo’s. I used these to avoid genetically engineered ingredients.

This is definitely not an every day indulgence but neither is it as unhealthy as conventional store bought pie. The sugar is kept to a minimum with maple syrup being the only sweetner in the filling.

With the holidays just around the corner I think this pie would be a great addition to your meal. Especially if you want the kids to eat a healthier dessert without the usual complaints:)
