Week 46: Raw Pumpkin Pie

Week 46 was a total experiment.  The Pie was a pumpkin-maple pie with a baked oat crust.  This recipe was out of a vegan cookbook called, Oh She Glows.  It was surprisingly good.  Not sure what I expected but it was a tasty alternative to traditional pumpkin pie.  The pie gets its creaminess from cashews...you soak them for a few hours and then blend in the blender and poof, they turn into cream.  It's a big like magic!  Anyways, the pie was good.  The crust tasted a bit like lara bars but if you like lara bars, it's a plus.  The recipe has you put the pie in the freezer and serve it cold.  It was a nice alternative to the regular pumpkin pie. We all thought it was pretty good.  P wasn't as keen but Brian really liked it...he likes pumpkin and lara bars, so all around win for him.  I would probably still make a regular pumpkin pie unless I was really watching calories!
