Lemon Oil Chess Pie

(dairy and gluten free)

I'm a short-cut taker.  
I love recipes, but I always try to cut out steps if possible.  This pie was made with all you see here, full of traditional Southern style but with an allergen-friendly twist.  No dairy or wheat in this here pie.

A little cornmeal and any gluten-free flour will work.  But the secret ingredient is Young Living lemon essential oil!*  No zesting or juicing required for that old-fashioned lemon taste. 

Lemon Oil Chess Pie:

(dairy and gluten free)

Ingredients:

• 9" gluten-free pie crust
• 1/2 cup dairy-free butter alternative, melted (Nutiva buttery spread is what I use)
• 1/2 cup dairy-free unsweetened coconut milk yogurt (So Delicious brand is a good one)
• 1 Tbsp corn meal
• 2 Tbsp any gluten-free AP flour
• scant 1 cup of evaporated cane sugar
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2 tsp vanilla
• pinch of salt
• 4-6 drops of YL Lemon essential oil*

Method:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix all the dry ingredients, flour, corn meal, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Whisk in the df yogurt, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
• Finally, add in the drops of YL lemon essential oil, carefully so you don't add too many drops!  6 is probably plenty.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes in oven at 350 F until golden brown on top and set.  Tip: It should shake like a jello mold when set, as in the whole pie will jiggle as one!
