RECIPE: clean pumpkin pie

The time has come: It is pumpkin season. 

I’ve never really understood the craze and I really never understood the depth of the craze until the past few years (unless that’s when it started ..?) but now that I can see that there is no choice but to join it, I present to you a rawified pumpkin pie.
I never really liked pumpkin pie growing up but now that I have a raw version that is made from coconuts I feel like there is nothing not-to-love about it! This is so simple and inspired by two blogging beauties: My Whole Food Life  and Fragrant Vanilla Cake. The idea to use coconut came from MWFL and the idea to ditch the pumpkin came from FVC. I combined these two simple yet genius ideas and made an easy, tasty, and very Fall-ish Pumpkin-ey Pie.

Clean Pumpkin Pie
serves 8-12

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 cup buckwheat, soaked and dried
  • 1 cup medjool dates, soaked
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1 T cinnamon
  • 1 t nutmeg
  • sea salt
For the filling:
  • 2 cups coconut meat
  • 3 carrots, juiced
  • 2 T coconut butter
  • 1 T cinnamon
  • 1 t nutmeg
  • 1/4 t allspice
  • 1/4 cloves
Instructions
For the crust:
  • Grind the buckwheat in a food processor, blender or mini chopper** until a powder forms. 
  • Place in a large bowl. 
  • Process the dates with a couple tablespoons of the soak water until a paste forms and add to the bowl. 
  • Add the remaining ingredients and mix well until a dough is formed. I used my hands to mix.
  • Press down into a pie dish until evenly distributed.
For the filling:

  • Put everything in a very strong blender of in a food processor. It helps to finely chop the coconut meat ahead of time. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour over the crust and then stick it in the freezer overnight. Move to the fridge a couple hours before you’re ready to serve.
HAPPY FALL

    Do you have any suggestions for something to use instead of coconut? My hubs is allergic. But I'm dying to try this!

    Oh no!! What a horrible allergy to have. Actually, I have just made a persimmon pie that I will be posting soon. Instead of coconut, maybe just try good ole' pumpkin, sweet potato, or persimmon 🙂

vegan sweetener guide

hey 👋

I'm Kiki. I am a pretty basic plant-based chick that does yoga and all the things. I try to have as little impact on this planet as I can and I share all the ways I do it here with plant-based vegan food, eco-friendly sustainable living, home gardening, and homemade all natural everything.

I truly believe that if we all do all of the 'little things' then it will add up to make a big difference. I'm so glad that you're here to join me in doing lots of little things.
