The classic Thanksgiving dessert 100% gluten free
2020 was my first Thanksgiving cooking a gluten free feast, and I skipped out on dessert. That won’t be happening anytime in the future cause I got a gluten free pumpkin pie recipe up my sleeve. This pie came out perfect; tasted just like a regular one with sweetness and plenty of pumpkin. I know all you Celiacs out there know how hard it is to find dessert to eat for big gatherings; well make this and you will be making everyone very happy. Slice up the pie and add a dollop of whipped cream on top! Dessert heaven or a food coma will be happening.
