Portland, Oregon, November 2010 — Steviva Brands, Inc. is revamping that old holiday classic: the pumpkin pie. But instead of loading it with sugar or synthetic sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose, Steviva Brands is reviving the pie with an all-natural Stevia sweetener and a hint of vegan sensibility. www.steviva.com According to Thom King, president of Steviva Brands, Inc., “ We have cut out the majority of the sugar and cholesterol and replaced it with our unique stevia sweetener while upping the protein. If you just can't stand going all out vegan throw a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top and eat away.” Almost three hundred times sweeter than sugar but with no carbohydrates or calories, Steviva's stevia extract is safe for diabetics as well as persons who suffer from hypoglycemia. The stevia extract has no additives whatsoever and is 100% natural. And, with a firm nod to the health conscious vegans, here is the ‘new-fashioned' pumpkin pie with all-natural Stevia sweetener. This recipe is perfect for the holidays coming up or for any time of year. Either way, your holiday guests will never know the difference: Ingredients: 1 container silken firm tofu, drained 1 can or pumpkin or 1 1/2 cups of cooked pumpkin 1 cup Fructevia , Steviva Brand Stevia Blend or 1/8 tsp of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder a dash of salt 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1 tablespoon molasses 1 pie crust Directions Preparation: Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Blend the tofu in a food processor or with a blender until smooth and cream-like, for about four minutes. Stop the machine every once in a while to scrape large pieces of tofu down into the machine's blades. Add the cooked pumpkin and blend some more, occasionally stopping the machine to scrape the mixture down. The result should be a light orange-colored smooth paste with no lumps. Put the paste into a large mixing bowl and add Fructevia , Steviva Brand Stevia Blend or tsp of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder , molasses, salt, and spices. Mix well and spoon it into the pie crust. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until the crusts are dark brown; but not burned.
