Raw Pumpkin Pie Recipe

So this afternoon, I decided to hit the kitchen and make some Raw Pumpkin Pie!

Here is what you need:

Raw Pumpkin Pie Crust

• 2 cups pecans or walnuts
• 1/2 cup soaked dates
• Dash of sea salt

Blend the crust ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor, then evenly distribute in the bottom of a pie plate.

Raw Pumpkin Pie Filling

• 2 cups fresh pumpkin
• 1 cup soaked dates
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. freshly diced ginger
• 1 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 tsp. coconut oil
• Dash of organic vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup almond milk or water from soaked dates to help blend

STEP 1: 
Prepare your pie crust by adding all pie crust ingredients into a blender or food processor.  Spoon crust into pie pan and spread evenly in pie pan and along sides.  Set aside.

Step 2:
Start with a new fresh pumpkin! Its the season for pumpkins so you can find one just about anywhere!  Of course I would recommend supporting your local farmers ;)  Cut the pumpkin-- First slice off the bottom, then the top, then slowly carve off the outer layer.  Next, slice the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and other "stuff".  NOTE:  SAVE THE SEEDS for other recipes!



Step 3:  Blend the chunks of pumpkin in blender or food processor.  Add all other ingredients... and VIOLA!.. Raw Pumpkin Pie!

Be sure to place in fridge for about 2 hours so nice and firm and easy to serve!  Top with walnuts.  Serve each individual slice with Whip Cream or Vegan Whip and Cinnamon.
