Ingredients
Method
- Soak 1 cup of raw cashews overnight (or at least 3-4 hours)
- Drain and rinse cashews
- In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, pumpkin, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and nutmeg and blend on high until completely smooth **If your blender needs more liquid to get it going, you can add 1 tbsp of almond milk or a bit more to help it along
- Pour your filling into the crust and smooth out the top
- Gently cover the pie with tin foil and place on an even surface in your freezer for a minimum of 5 hours (but it's best to let sit overnight)
- Remove pie from the freezer and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing
- This pie is meant to be served cold, and tastes best served frozen
- Serve with homemade or store-bought (dairy-free) whipped cream, add chopped pecans and freshly grated nutmeg if desired!
Notes
If you have a Vitamix, there is no need to soak cashews ahead of time! Just go ahead and blend! If you don't have a Vitamix, you can easily soak your cashews. Just put them into a bowl and cover them with water for about 3-4 hours minimum. If I didn't have a Vitamix and I knew ahead of time I'd be making this pie, personally I would just soak them overnight.
