Shanti Chai Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Substitute Pumpkin Spice with Chai Spice for an Extra Special Pumpkin Pie!

This past weekend was Canadian Thanksgiving and while we had a mellow day at home with the twins, we decided to cook up a chicken, with potatoes, squash and rosemary, thyme, parsley and sage from the garden.
And of course, pumpkin pie! This pie is incredibly simple to make, richly spiced using a blend of our Original Chai Blend spices (with some added allspice), and has a lovely texture and an indulgent old school graham cracker crust. We topped ours with sweetened coconut cream.
