| Prep Time | 30 min |
| Total Time | two hours |
| Serves | four |
1.5 cups crushed gram crackers (175g)
2 tbs coconut oil
1 tbs coconut sugar
Pinch of salt
FILLING
1 vanilla chia pod
1 can pure pumpkin purée or flesh of 1 sugar pumpkin roasted until soft (use salt when roasting to bring out the sweetness of the pumpkin)
3 dates pitted
1.5 tbs cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger or about 1inch cube fresh ginger grated
1/2 tbs lemon zest
About 1/4 cup soy milk
COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM
1/2 cup chilled coconut cream (try to use 100% coconut extract if possible, otherwise make sure you separate the water out from the cream before whipping)
1 tsp vanilla extract
CRUST
Preheat over to 350. Melt coconut oil in microwave. Place all ingredients in
a food processor. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together and the
gram crackers are broken into course granules. Devise mixture into 4
ramekins. Press the mixture into the bottom of ramekins to form a dense
layer at the bottom. Bake for 10 minutes or until the top just starts to
become a darker brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
FILLING
Place all the filling ingredients except soy milk into a food processor.
Pulse until all ingredients form a purée the texture of apple sauce. If the
mixture is too dry add milk 1 tbs at a time until desired texture is
achieved.
Divide pumpkin mixture equally on top of the crust. Bake at 350 for 25-30
minutes or until the edges start to brown. Let cool for 2 hours.
COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM
Whip coconut cream and vanilla extract together until it forms stiff peaks.
This is best to do right before serving and should be stored in the
refrigerator to prevent melting.
