Nice with Rice

Ever heard of using rice to make a pie crust? Well, it’s a thing and it’s delicious! This unique recipe ditches the traditional pie crust for a crust made with Success® Brown Rice and chopped pecans. It’s a perfectly crunchy and tasty contrast to the whipped pumpkin filling in this pie. Give this twist on a holiday favorite a try at your next gathering and watch it disappear as fast as you dish it out!

The rice crust may seem intimidating if you’ve never worked with one before, but trust us, it really is easy. If you can mix cooked rice, chopped pecans, sugar and an egg together, you’re halfway there! Then, all you have to do is press the dough into a buttered pie plate and bake it for several minutes.

The fluffy pumpkin filling isn’t much harder to make than the crust. You’ll start by cooking cream with brown sugar and gelatin. Then, you’ll whisk in pumpkin purée, pumpkin spice and vanilla, and fold that mixture into a whipped cream and powdered sugar mix. Just like that, you’ll have an amazingly light and fluffy filling! Pour the filling into the crust, pop it in the fridge and let it set for several hours for a delicious take on a holiday classic.
