Alkaline Diet Recipe: Raw Pumpkin Pie

In honor of Thanksgiving, and how grateful I am that you are a loyal follower of Alkamind, I am giving you one of my most prized recipes, my RAW PUMPKIN PIE.

PIE FILLING 

• 1 cup pecans (ideally soaked overnight) 
• 1 1/4 cup of organic pumpkin puree (12 oz.) 
• 6 dates 
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt (Celtic Grey Sea Salt, Himalayan, or Redmond Real Salt) 
• 1 tsp. of vanilla (or 4 drops vanilla Medicine Flower Vanilla) 
• Optional: 1 tsp. of gluten-free Tamari

Directions

Pumpkin Pie Crust

• Blend pie crust ingredients in a food processor until you can see the oils coming out of the mixture and it is sticking together (food process for over a minute or so). 
• Then place mixture in a 9” tart mold or pie pan, and mold against the sides first, then floor of the mold so that it REALLY sticks.

Pie Filling

• In a blender, blend the ingredients. 
• Then add mixture to fill in the pie crust. 
• Sprinkle cinnamon on top, and place in refrigerator to cool and mold.
• Optional: You can use 12 oz. of real pumpkin if you choose (that's what I did, but puree is MUCH easier and faster).
