Serves 8

This is a light fall pudding. Not being a huge pie fan, I adapted this pudding from a pumpkin pie recipe taught in a raw cooking class by Bruce Horowitz. Pictured with both the variation and toppings described below.

Ingredients

  • ½ medium pumpkin, peeled and cut into chunks
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ cup coconut water
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ⅓ cup agave
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons cinamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • 1 tablespoon golden flax seeds, ground

Preparation

Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Variation: Mix a crust (1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, 1/4 cups agave, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, 1/2 cups shredded coconut, pinch of salt, pinch of cayenne) and press into bottom of baking dish. Pour pudding over crust.

Can top with whipped cream (Blend of 1 cup macadamia nuts, 2/3 cups water, few drops agave, 1/2 vanilla bean, 1 teaspoon olive oil, pinch of salt) and cacao nibs.

This is really tasty. The cacao nibs for the topping really add a lot to the flavor, as well as the nice visual flourish.

I made this into a pie last night for a potluck that we hosted. It was AMAZING!! I got a ton a rave reviews from the non-rawers (everybody but my family is NOT raw…LOL!).

I did make one modification to the mac cream: I added cocunut oil to give it a little creameir texture, and adjusted the agave and vanilla after that to taste.

This is magically delicious! I had some for breakfast this morning, without the crust or mac cream, and with cacao nibs and chopped pecans stirred in. Kept me full for hours. I’ve never thought of eating pumpkin raw before… this is the way to do it! :o)

oh man…I made this tonight for a pumpkin desert competition at my work tomorrow and it is SOOO good and beautiful too. I’m psyched…hopefully I can show people that raw can be delish. fingers crossed hkitty – the “chunky bits are the broken crust after you spoon the pudding out of the container.
