Kimberly's Pumpkin Pie #1


 
Custom Search

2 cups fresh pumpkin; seeded, peeled and cubed
3/4 cup meat scraped from a young coconut
1/3 cup water from a young coconut
1/2 cup soaked dates, chopped small by hand
1 1/2 - 2 tsp
pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon, nutmeg, and mace to taste)
1/2 cup finely ground walnuts
1/2 cup finely ground almonds
1/2 cup soaked, chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup soaked raisins (optional)

Puree the pumpkin in a food processor. If your machine will handle it, add the coconut meat, water, dates and spice and mix in food processor as well. If not, I find a good hand blender and a deep bowl to be a good substitute. (This can also be run through the champion with the blank in place, and then pureed until smooth in the food processor. If you do this, I suggest adding the spice afterward.)

Once you have a smooth puree, stir in ground nuts and immediately pour into pie shell.

Pie Crust
1 1/2 - 2 cups dates
1 1/2 - 2 cups almonds

Chop dates and almonds by hand, knead together (this takes a little patience and some hand strength), and press into pie plate.

1-2 T psyllium powder

Combine the pumpkin, avocado and dates, following the directions for Pie #1 above. If you need more liquid, try adding a little carrot juice.
