Notes
- Substitute the pumpkin puree with sweet potato puree for a variation in flavor.
- Use any type of milk that suits your dietary needs.
- Maple syrup or honey can be used instead of sugar, but reduce the milk slightly to compensate for extra liquid.
- This pie is naturally gluten-free when made with almond or gluten-free flour.
