Question:

Do you have a Whole Food, Plant-Based favorite pumpkin pie crust? What about whip?

— Melissa Bryant

Answer:

What I use there is I don't try to make a rolled out pie crust because the ones without any fat taste like cardboard I have tried. So there I will use perhaps a cookie crust or don't forget about the date and nut crusts, which you can just any dried fruit in the food processor with some nuts till it sticks together in your hands, press it. And in terms of a whip, you could try a cashew whip or tofu whip. You may, I don't know if you were on the live when we, um, showed the recipe for the ginger tofu ginger cream, but that would be nice.
