Raw Vegan Pumpkin Pie

I am continuing with my healthy alternatives to Christmas cookies...

... today with something special: raw vegan glutenfree sugarfree super healthy super yummy most delicious and awesome pumpkin pie! Pumpkin season is not over just because thanksgiving is over and the delicious taste of ginger and cinnamon is perfect for the Advent season. 

This pumpkin pie is super creamy, crunchy and tasty and you can totally feel good about eating it - because its super healthy. 

All you need for this pumpkin pie are these few ingredients:

A Pie Pumpkin 
A RIPE Khaki (make sure you use a ripe khaki, it should be really really soft!) 
Dates
Walnuts
Some Ginger
Some Cinnamon 

You will need approximately as many dates as walnuts and the amount depends on how much you wanna make. Maybe around 200 gram of walnuts and around the same quantity of dates (since dates are heavier than walnuts it will maybe be 300 or even 400 gram) for a regular sized pie pan. 

For the crust you put your walnuts and 80% of your dates (leave around 4-7) in a food processor and process until you get a nice crust. Put the crust into your pie pan. - You may notice that the crust gets very oily, like you can see on my picture here, its all natural walnut oil! 

For the filling you put around a small teapsoon of cinnamon, a fingernail size of ginger, pumpkin (cut into small pieces) and the khaki into your high speed blender and blend everything up until you get a very creamy golden filling. Add the rest of your dates, or less or more, depending on how sweet you like it - also add more ginger or cinnamon if you like :) 

Et voilá - your raw vegan pumpkin pie is ready! So easy, so fast, sooooooo good!!! 

We had this delicious pie on the weekend to celebrate the third Advent Sunday. My mother and her husband came to visit and even though they were a little sceptical in the first place, they both loved the raw vegan pie and both of them asked for second slice - which made me very happy of course :) 

Have you ever tried some raw cakes or candies? I love to try out new healthy recipes, especially when they do not contain any sugar. I need to practice to make sweets without sugar because I have a little bit of a challenge planned for next year... will tell you more about it soon. 

For now, have a great Monday!
Sending much love!
