Zevia Orange Pumpkin PIe
Get in the Halloween spirit with these deliciously adorable treats!
Yields:
5 5-inch pies
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease your tart pans.
- Combine the pie crust ingredients in a food processor until dough starts to form.
- Split the dough up between in the tart pans and press it down with your palm and use a drinking glass to push it up the sides. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork before baking.
- Place the pie pans on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until the pie crust gets darker.
- Let the pie crusts to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, before transferring to a baking rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together the pie filling ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to let flavors combine even more.
- Pour the mixture into each tin near the top and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F. Turn the oven down to 350°F and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
- Let the pies set on a cooling rack for about 2 hours.
- To make the decorations, melt the baking chips over a double broiler, then let cool to room temperature. Pour mixture into a piping bag (you can also use a zip top bag with a corner cut). Make the pumpkin faces, stems, and other decorations onto wax paper with the melted chocolate. It’s easier to draw designs on computer paper first, then trace over them.
- Wait until the pies and chocolate are set to decorate. Melt the leftover chocolate. Slightly draw curved lines on the pies with a toothpick and pipe curved lines onto each pie.
- To make the whipped cream, whip together the Zevia Orange soda and heavy cream in a chilled mixing bowl. Beat on high until soft peaks form. Add a spoonful to the jack-o-lantern pies, sprinkle with cinnamon, and enjoy!
