  • Raw Pumpkin Pie? Added by questionmarke on November 1, 2009 at 12:43am in Recipes Tags: pie, pumpkin
    'Tis the time of year to enjoy the pumpkin desserts! I'd love to serve up a raw pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving or Christmas for my non-vegetarian family. Anyone have a good recipe?

    Here's what I've compiled concerning pumpkin pie, bread and pudding and soup. Enjoy!!

    Pumpkin Bread Ingredients
    · 3/4 cup Almond Pulp*
    · 1/4 cup Golden Flax Meal*
    · 1 cup Pumpkin Puree*
    · 1/2 cup Date Paste*
    · 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
    · 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
    · 1/4 tsp. allspice
    · 1/4 tsp. cloves
    · 1/2 smidgen salt
    Directions:
    Mix by hand and form into a loaf about one and a half inches thick. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 8 hours on a teflex sheet then remove the teflex sheet and dehydrate for additional 16 hours and enjoy!
    Optional:
    To make a dryer bread, slice the bread and dehydrate for an additional 8 hours.
    · To make almond pulp, make almond milk and strain out the pulp.
    · To make golden flax meal, put golden flax seeds in a dry blender and blend to a powder. Brown flax meal will also due just fine.
    · To make pumpkin puree, peel and seed a small pumpkin (don't worry about getting all the stringy part off), roughly chop the pumpkin, and toss it in the food processor. Process until it is a consistent texture, but it will never be smooth.
    · To make date paste, put pitted dates in either a blender or food processor and add as little water as possible to achieve a paste.

    Raw Pumpkin Pie

    2 C raw pumpkin, cubed and peeled
    3/4 C young coconut meat (1 coconut)
    1/3 C coconut milk (or more)
    1/2 C soaked dates
    2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    1/2 C walnuts, ground
    1/2 C almonds, ground

    Put pumpkin thru juicer, then put in food processor and add rest of ingredients. process till smooth--very smooth, this could take about 5+ min. Pour on top of your favorite raw crust. Decorate with pecans. Chill.

    NOTE: I froze a slice and when I pulled it out it was just as delicious. You can make a few pies and freeze them so you don't waste the pumpkin, as mine spoiled quickly after I cut it open.

    Pumpkin Pie
    INgredients:
    1. 2 C of Walnuts (Consider soaking and then dehydrating prior to use; they should be dry)
    OR
    2 C raw hazelnut flour (from Holmquist Farms)
    2. 1 small pumpkin, chopped and peeled
    3. 8 or more dates or honey to taste
    4. Seasonings to taste: cinnamon, sea salt, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla
    5. 2 Young coconuts (with thick white meat), reserve the coconut water
    6. 1 C soaked cashews
    7. 1/2 C olive oil (opt.)
    8. Approx. 2 T psyllium, dried coconut, or ground flax seeds for thickener
    9. Coconut shavings for topping

    INSTRUCTIONS

    The Crust:
    1. Process dry walnuts in food processor, adding dates one at a time, until mixture sticks together.
    2. Add cinnamon to pie crust mixture. If using hazelnut flour, simply mix with coconut water until dough-like consistency.
    3. Press into pie plate about 1/8 inch thick.
    4. You may wish to dehydrate the walnut crust awhile; optional. This is not necessary for the hazelnut crust.
    5. Roll leftover crust into balls to make raw candy and roll in carob, coconut or whatever...... use your imagination. Save a ball or two for crumbling over the top of the pie.
    The Filling:
    1. Fill Vitamix about 2/3 full with small, peeled pumpkin pieces. You will need to repeat this process, to save the motor from overworking.
    2. Add coconut meat, cashews, 1/2 the dates or honey, oil, salt and spices.
    3. Pour some of the reserved coconut water into blender until pumpkin pieces are about 1/2 covered.Blend gradually faster until well blended and mixture is as smooth as you can get it. (Avoid graininess) Add more coconut water as needed to facilitate the vortex.
    4. Add seasonings and dates or honey.
    5. Adjust the flavors and pour into a bowl. Repeat this process until all the pumpkin is blended. This usually takes two blendings. Mix them together and adjust the flavors again. Pour about 1/2 the mixture, about 3 cups for one pie, back into the Vitamix and add psyllium while blending. When the vortex begins to disappear, stop adding psyllium. The pie filling will continue to thicken, so scoop it immediately into a prepared, cooled pie crust.
    For the walnut crust, you may wish to line the crust with a layer of banana to help keep crust from getting soggy (depending on how much psyllium you use).
    Top with crumbled leftover crust or dried coconut shavings.

    Cashew Cream Topping:
    · 2 1/2 Cups soaked cashews
    · Vanilla to taste
    · Dates or honey to taste
    · Reserved coconut water

    Raw Pumpkin Soup
    Yield: 4
    Ingredients:
    · 2 cups pumpkin or butternut squash, chopped
    · 1 banana
    · 1/2 leek, white part only
    · 1 clove garlic, minced
    · 1 inch ginger, peeled and grated
    · 2 pinches cumin
    · 1/2-3/4 cup apple juice
    · 2-3 Tbs. almond flour
    · thyme
    · salt
    Directions:
    1. Chop the pumpkin into small pieces, or grate.
    2. Slice the leek into small rings.
    3. Mince the garlic.
    4. Place in a blender with the apple juice and puree to a smooth consistency.
    5. Add the seasonings and taste.
    6. Add the almond flour to thicken.
    7. Depending on what you like, season with more slat, a dash of cayenne or more cumin.
    8. You can make the soup thinner with more apple juice.
    Notes:
    I combined ingredients from both of the recipes at Gone Raw. As my husband is allergic to raw apples, I did not put the raw apples in as one of the recipes suggests, however did use fresh organic apple juice which seems to be o.k. for him. I would suggest that you don’t make this too far in advanced from serving, as because of the banana, the soup becomes darker and stronger with banana flavor.

    Mouthwatering Pumpkin Pie
    Submitted by OceanBliss on September 10, 2007

    This Pumpkin Pie is amazingly scrumptious! I make it whenever I have a craving for pumpkin, but holidays are best. I try to sneak the entire pie to myself but there’s always someone who comes along who wants a piece. My pie doesn’t last one single night! It’s heavenly.
    Ingredients:
    -FOR THE CRUST-
    2 Cups Pecans (unsoaked)
    1 Cup Dates (Pitted, chopped)
    1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon Cacao or Cocoa Powder
    Squirt Agave or Honey
    -FOR THE FILLING-
    3.5 Cups Cubed Pumpkin
    1 Ripe Avocado (peeled, seedless)
    1.5 Cups of Dates (pitted)
    1/2 tablespoon Coconut Oil
    Pumpkin Pie Spice
    Touch of Agave or Honey
    -FOR THE TOPPING-
    1 Cup Almonds (soaked)
    Water
    Squirt Maple Syrup (or Agave or honey)
    1 Teaspoon Vanilla
    Preparation:
    CRUST: Combine the pecans, dates, cinnamon, cacao/cocoa powder and sweetener in your high tech blender (or food processor whichever you prefer). Press into a pie pan evenly and set in the fridge.
    FILLING: Chop the diced pumpkin cubes in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer the pumpkin into your blender and add the avocado, coconut oil, chopped dates, pumpkin spice (about a teaspoon or less) & sweetener until thoroughly mixed. NOTE: Sorry I forgot to add the 1 tablespoon of Psyllium powder to the list. Add that as well. Pour into the pie pan over the crust. Sprinkle some cinnamon over top. Set in the fridge.
    TOPPING – Optional: Blend the almonds, sweetener, vanilla and some water and control the consistency of the cream you want, more water for a thinner base or less for thicker. You can also add some cacao/cocoa powder to make a chcocolate version, but you will need a little more sweetener. I made 2 kinds as pictured, vanilla and chocolate. When complete, set in the fridge.
    Everything should be ready within an hour, I like to let mine sit in the fridge for around 2 hours but anything works. If the pie crust breaks as you serve it, it’s normal lol, I seem to always break mine…

    Raw Pumpkin Pudding
    2 cups Raw Pumpkin cut up
    1 Avocado
    1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
    1 Tsp. Cinnamon
    ½ Tsp. Nutmeg
    ½ Tsp. Ground Cloves
    ¼ " Fresh Ginger, squeezed
    Put all ingredients in food processor and process until smooth. If mixture
    is too loose add some ground Flaxseed to thicken. It will swell and absorb
    the excess moisture.
