Recipe Directions

  • First, make the crust in your food processor:
  • 1. Place crust nuts in food processor. Process until crumbly. Add dates, coconut and salt. Process again until well-processed but still airy. Pinch between fingers. Sticks together? Ready.
  • 2. Dump pie crust mixture into pie plate. Press crust down firmly into pie plate. Form into crust. Press down firmly. Crust is now ready. (Set aside.)
  • Next, make raw pumpkin pie filling:
  • 3. Throw all pumpkin pie filling ingredients into your high-speed blender and blend from low to high until very, very silky smooth! (Try not to add any additional water other than what is called for. If it isn't blending properly, stop blender. Remove lid. Insert knife down side of blender - create air pocket. Remove knife, put lid back on, continue blending.)
  • 4. Pour pumpkin pie filling into pie dish on top of crust. Smooth out top of pie with a knife or back of spoon. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
  • 5. Place completed pie in freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
  • 6. Keep in freezer at all times. If serving, slice immediately as needed and eat frozen. Tastes like real pumpkin pie - raw style!

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

By The Rawtarian

Raw pumpkin pie recipes are not something that are in my everyday recipe rotation. However, around Halloween or at Thanksgiving or Christmas it's nice to have a raw pumpkin pie recipe you can turn to for special occasions.

This raw pumpkin pie recipe is nice because it can be made the day before and kept in the freezer until ready to be eaten. It should be served frozen. I like to freeze my entire raw pumpkin pie in the freezer, and then slice about 1 minute before serving. It doesn't really taste frozen - it just tastes like cold pie. Don't defrost this raw pumpkin pie recipe because it will turn into a goopy mess!

For best pumpkin flavour, use the smaller pie pumpkins for eating (as compared to the huge pumpkins that you can buy to carve into jack-o-lanterns). Use the meaty inside part - discard the skin and seeds.

You must use the coconut oil. Do not substitute another oil. Coconut oil hardens when cooled - that's why it's so important in this raw pumpkin pie!

Hi Stacey!

In the crust you can definitely use walnuts instead of the macs, but for the filling only cashews or macadamia nuts will do :)

Everyone enjoyed this pie! I made one following your recipe and one substituting the cloves for 1tsp of nutmeg. I also used walnuts and macadamias for the crust. Both turned out great!!

Hi! Great site! :) Can I substitute all pumpkin, for 1/2 pumpkin and 1/2 carrots? Also, can I substitute cacao butter for the coconut oil so that it will stay solid in the refrigerator? Thank you.

Do you think you could sub macadamias for the cashews in the filling? My husband is allergic to cashews, and all the good raw recipes are cashew based! Thank you

Hi Eva, yes, the only nut that you could possibly sub in most raw recipes is macadamias for cashews. This audio show of mine goes into more details :) http://www.therawtarian.com/rfp05-nut-substitutions

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful! I want to make it again but can't find pumpkin anywhere. Do you think I could use sweet potatoes instead?

Hi Amanda, now that is an interesting idea. I don't know for sure because I very very rarely use sweet potato, but I think it would be worth a shot. Give it a try, but maybe reduce the "pumpkin" (sweet potato) a bit and increase the "carrot" a bit - for example, try 3/4 cup "pumpkin" and 1 1/4 cup "carrot"

About a year ago, I stopped eating sugar, flour and anything processed. I tried this recipe because of Thanksgiving and it was INCREDIBLE! I am so grateful that I stumbled across your website, I can't wait to try all the other recipes! I am actually considering going raw.. I'm not sure if I would be able to manage it though with school, but possibly!
