A simple recipe post today ~ Vegan & Gluten Free

Four Ingredient Pumpkin Pie

 

Pumpkin Pie with Coconut Whipped Crème


1 1/4 cups raw soaked cashews
1 cup maple syrup
1 can organic pumpkin puree (16 ounces) (or use fresh puree)
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  
Blend all together until smooth.
 
Bake with or without crust - 400º for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350º bake for about 35 minutes more.
 
OR: Don't bake at all and scoop into small serving bowls and call it Mousse.
  
**You can buy Pumpkin Pie Spice or use a combination of: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, & cloves. Omit anything you don't like. Remember this is an "easy" recipe.

Here's a quick and tasty crust.

Pie Crust

 
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup pitted dates (packed)
1/3 cup almond butter
2 tablespoons nondairy milk
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
 
For the crust, use a food processor to process the rolled oats and dates into a fine, crumbly texture. Add the almond butter and process for about a minute. Add the nondairy milk and salt. Pulse until the mixture comes together without crumbling. If its not holding together, add more nondairy milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Transfer to a pie plate. Press mixture into pie plate evenly around the base and up the sides. Set aside.
 

 

Coconut Whipped Cream

 

1 14 oz. can unsweetened coconut milk (use top firm part only)
1/3 cup organic powdered sugar, maple syrup or agave may be substituted, texture might be thinner, but just as delicious
