Description

I typically save this gluten free pumpkin pie recipe for the seasonal holidays such as, Thanksgiving or Halloween or Christmas, but as a matter of fact, it’s so good anytime of the year. Truth is, it’s  indulgent enough for the sweet tooth, but it’s an alternative for those looking for vegan and gluten free options. In either caee, please enjoy this twist on the traditional pumpkin pie!


Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

1 cup     pecans

1 cup     almonds

1 cup     coconut flakes

Pinch      pink/sea salt

Filing:

4 cups      raw pumpkin (skin removed) chopped very small 

1 ripe        avocado

1 cup        cashews

1 pinch      pink/sea salt

2 tbsp       coconut oil

2 tbsp       mixed spice

40mls        maple syrup

2 tbsp        agar agar dissolved in hot water


Instructions

For the base;

  • In a food processor blend the nuts to chunky pieces then add the remaining ingredients and blend until sticky dough forms
  • Press into the pastry case, ensure its all evenly pressed down
  • Place the base in the fridge to chill for at least 15 minutes

For the filling;

  • Process the pumpkin in a food processor to make fine before transferring to a blender
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the blender until smooth then pour over the base, spread evenly
  • Place in the fridge to set for 3 hours 

For the Topping;

  • garnish with any of the ingredients used inside such as nuts or coconut flakes

Notes

I use a 9inch nonstick round tart pan with removable loose bottom for this recipe

Soak cashews for a minimum of 3 hours – for maximum creaminess soak them overnight

Don’t over process the nuts or they become very oily

Lecithin can be used in addition, to create a silkier texture to the filling but I just use agar to help set the filling.
