Vegan Pumpkin Pie Recipe

We love pumpkin and always have it on hand.  Our dogs love pumpkin too and always come running when they hear us open a can of it!  This is a recipe we came up with just before Thanksgiving because we were hosting family at our house for the first time.  It is a super quick and easy recipe that everyone can enjoy during the winter months!

Ingredients:
1 pie crust
1 cup cashews (soaked overnight)
1 can pumpkin puree (or 2 cup fresh pumpkin)
12 dates (soaked overnight and pitted)
1/4 cup raisins
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cardamom
dash sea salt
a little water

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400.  Put pumpkin, cashews, dates, and raisins in food processor and blend thoroughly.  Next add the seasonings and blend thoroughly.  If the mixture seems too thick while blending add a tiny amount of water.  Once the mixture is completely blended pour it into the pie crust and bake for 20 minutes.  Once it is done, take it out and let it cool down.  Then put it in your refrigerator for at least an hour.  Then serve and enjoy!
