GLUTEN/WHEAT FREE PIE CRUST
I have made pie crust using ground nuts.
Quantities depend on how big your dish is.
Use a mix of ground almonds and ground macadamias. Using a food processor, process with melted butter until pastry consistency. Press into springform tin or other baking dish.
Bake in oven (350 degrees F/180 degrees C) until light golden brown (about 10 minutes). Take care when baking as nuts brown quickly. Remove from oven, cool and firm up in freezer.
When you want your pumpkin pie, pre-cook your filling, pile into baking dish and finish off in oven.
Easy as pie and can be used for other recipes - eg cheesecake base, fruit pie base.
I developed the recipe as I am on a low carb diet.
