With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we’ve put our own twist on a beloved classic. Our Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie combines the cozy, spiced flavors of the season with a buttery, naturally gluten-free short crust infused with collagen for an extra boost for your gut, skin, and joints.

        Looks yum but can it be made with Almond flour? Also what is that topping at the end, just cream with Collagen added? Thanks

        Great question! We haven’t tested this recipe with almond flour yet, so we can’t guarantee the result. Almond flour behaves quite differently (it’s higher in fat and doesn’t have the same structure), so it doesn’t always swap 1:1 in recipes. That said, if you do try it, I’d love to hear how it turns out! Yes, the topping just cream with collagen added (you can use coconut cream or regular cream depending on preference). [image: :blush:]
