(Make sure to read notes at bottom) (Large Pie Recipe Conversion Below)
- Preheat oven to 350° Lightly grease your 4 inch tart pans.

- Now beat in the rest of your pumpkin filling ingredients (pumpkin purée, coconut cream, arrowroot starch, brown sugar, fresh ginger, ginger spice, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, cloves). Set aside.
- Next pour your 2 bags of gingersnaps into your food processor and blend on high for one minute until very fine crumbs form.
- Now add the rest of the crust ingredients and pulse until evenly mixed.
- Press the crust into the bottom and sides of your lightly greased 4 inch tart pans.
- Pour the filing mixture into each tart pan.
- Use foil strips to protect the crust from burning.
- Place mini pies in the oven and bake approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Cover with foil after 20 minutes of baking. (If you are baking the large pie the time is approximately 50 minutes give or take a fe- cover pie with foil at halfway baking point.)
- Serve with coconut whipped topping and enjoy!
Notes: I used winton tart pans with removable bottoms, very easy to transfer to a plate when done cooking.

If you really want to have fun with it like I did here you can add : 3/4 of a 8 oz bag of chopped pecans to a medium bowl with 1/4 cup softened butter, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Mix really well. Once the pie has completely finished baking, you can add the candied pecans to the top and put back in the oven for an additional 8 – 10 minutes to set @ 350 degrees
