How to Make Raw Pumpkin Pie

PIE CRUST

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

PIE FILLING

• In a blender, blend the ingredients.
• Add mixture to fill in the pie crust.
• Sprinkle cinnamon on top, and place in the refrigerator to cool and mold.

Why Raw Pumpkin Pie Is a Healthy Holiday Choice

Traditional pumpkin pies are often loaded with white sugar, dairy, gluten, and processed ingredients that weigh you down, spike blood sugar, and leave you sluggish. This raw pumpkin pie, on the other hand, is no-bake, dairy-free, gluten-free, and full of nutrient-dense ingredients that actually support your health.

By using raw nuts, natural sweeteners like dates, and fresh pumpkin puree, this raw pumpkin pie helps reduce inflammation, balance energy, and keep your gut happy. Unlike traditional pies, it won’t leave you with a sugar crash or acid reflux.

Best of all, this raw pumpkin pie is quick to prepare and can even be enjoyed for breakfast — especially when paired with an Acid-Kicking Coffee Alkalizer for a holiday morning that fuels your body instead of draining it.

This is why the raw pumpkin pie is more than a dessert; it’s a celebration of seasonal flavor, gratitude, and health — a Thanksgiving tradition you’ll feel good about sharing with your family.
