PUMPKIN CHAI PIE (DAIRY-FREE)
I make this nearly every year for Thanksgiving, and it's always a hit. I usually make it dairy-free using almond milk, but it's possible to do with cow's milk as well. Taking a bit of a detour from the traditional pumpkin pie flavor with the added chai spice, this is a great dish for adding an extra bit of spice (pun intended) to your Thanksgiving this year.

CHAI PUMPKIN PIE
Try this for a different flavor from regular pumpkin pie. I really like the blend of spices. I don't like pie crust, so I baked it in a 9-in round cake pan coated with nonstick spray. From Cooking Club Oct/Nov 2009.

Steps:
- Place all of the solids into the bottom of a tea press.
- Fill the press with the boiling water.
- Press, and steep for around 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
- Pour the tea into mugs, and add sugar and milk to taste. I personally do not add anything.
- For a refreshing chai, add in some Ice cubes.
- *If you do not have loose tea, try emptying some tea bags, to get enough tea to make a tablespoon. Use an "unflavored" tea - Earl Grey, Lipton, English Breakfast, etc., dont use an orange tea or berry tea for example.*.
Tips:
- To ensure a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter provides flavor, while the shortening helps to keep the crust tender.
- Work the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This will help to create a tender, flaky crust.
- Use ice water to keep the dough cold and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to make it easier to work with.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming tough.
- To prevent the crust from shrinking, trim the edges and flute them.
- Bake the crust in a preheated oven until it is golden brown. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked through.
- Use a variety of spices to create a flavorful chai pumpkin pie filling. Common spices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Pumpkin puree is a key ingredient in chai pumpkin pie. Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- To prevent the pie from cracking, let it cool completely before cutting into it.
Conclusion:
Chai pumpkin pie is a delicious and festive fall dessert. With its flaky crust, flavorful filling, and aromatic spices, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try today!
