Ingredients

1 8'' My GF Homemade Pie Crust
1 15.5oz cans navy beans (439g ) rinsed and drained
¾ cup coconut milk (177ml)
2 tablespoon tapioca starch (16g)
2 large eggs beaten
3 tablespoon dairy free butter (42g) softened, almosted melting
¾ cup raw cane sugar (150g)
2 tablespoon vanilla extract (26g)
½ teaspoon cinnamon (1g)
½ teaspoon nutmeg (1g)
¼ pink salt (0.1g)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (15g)

Instructions

To bake the pie crust

Preheat the oven to 350F/180c.
Use the tines of a fork to pierce the bottom of the pie.
Cover the entire pie crust with parchment paper then fill with dried beans/rice.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Remove pie crust from the oven.
Carefully cover the edges of the crust with aluminium foil or a pie shield then set aside to cool down.

To make the pie filling

Add the navy beans and coconut milk to a blender (or food processor) and blitz until smooth.
Add the tapioca starch, eggs, raw cane sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, pink salt and lemon juice.
Blitz into a smooth consistency.
Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
Bake in the oven until the pie is set (it should be firm/jiggle when it is ready) this will take anything from 40 minutes to 1 hour (if the pie is browning too much (cover the top loosely with foil).
Remove the pie from the oven and allow the pie to cool for 2-3 hours before slicing it.

Notes

If you cannot get navy beans use north beans, cannellini or lima beans instead.
You can use dried beans, just soak and cook them first but they need to be the equalavent to an 15.5oz of beans.
This is the pie crust recipe that you will need.
Navy beans are called haricot beans in the UK.
Feel free to add an additional spices such as allspice, ginger, mace or cloves.
This pie serves 6-8 people.
It is very important that you par-bake the pie crust before using it to avoid a soggy bottom.
Keep the pie refrigerated for up to 3 days.
To freeze the pie, wrap in saran/plastic wrap and then cover with aluminium foil but be sure to thaw the pie out before consuming it.
To prevent the pie crust edges from burning, it is very important to use a pie shield or cover with bits of aluminium foil.
