Raw Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Raw Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Keep it clean this Thanksgiving and bring a Raw Pumpkin Pie, yeah I said it RAW! This no bake treat is super easy, is REAL, gluten free, dairy free, egg free, sugar-free!! Your family won't even know it's guilt-free until you tell them! 

 

Ingredients:

Crust:

Organic Mejool Dates

Raw Pecans (you can also use almonds, or walnuts) 

 

Pie filling:

1 large can of pumpkin purée

Date paste (from your dates you blend)

Cinnamon

Nutmeg

Allspice

Unsweetened almond milk

Organic vanilla extract

 

1. In your Vitamix, blend your pecans with 1/4 c water so they are ground(can be pretty thick).

2. Clean out Vitamix, then place a tub of dates (pitted dates) with 1/2 c water.

3. Blend until smooth.

3. Spoon out about 1/3 of date paste in to a clean small bowl, leave 2/3 in Vitamix.

4.mix almonds and date paste.

5. Remove new almond/date paste from Vitamix and flatten out in pie pan.

6. In Vitamix blend leftover 1/3 of date paste, almond milk, spices, vanilla, and pumpkin.

7. Pour mixture in to pie pan.

8. Serve, and eat!

 

Want some whipped "cream" too?

  1. 1 cup organic raw cashewssoaked for 2 hours 
  2. 1/4-1/2 cup filtered water depending on desired thickness
  3. 1-2 Tbsp maple syrup, or more to taste
  4. 1/2 tsp natural vanilla extract, or a little more to taste
  5. a pinch of Celtic sea salt

Throw everything into a blender and puree until thick & creamy. You will need a high speed blender for thickness (Vitamix).
