This no-bake decadent pumpkin pecan pie is dangerously good. It’s also a good mix of both a pumpkin and a pecan pie with the Medjool date nut crust. I use half pecans and half almonds in the crust, but you could always do all pecans too.
With 3 cups of medjool dates, nuts, and coconut oil, it is a lot higher in fat and calories than a typical pumpkin pie. With this said, it is also made from whole food amazing ingredients that are not inflammatory to our bodies like the typical pumpkin or pecan pie. For the once or twice a year Thanksgiving pie, it is absolutely worth it. You also need thinner slices with this pie, so you can really stretch out the servings or better yet leftovers.
No-Bake Decadent Pumpkin Pecan Pie
You need a food processor and a high speed blender for this recipe.
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup almonds
- 2 cups super soft pitted Medjool dates, if not super soft, soften in a bowl of room temp water for around 10-15 minutes (drain water) – You could also use 1 cup here if you just do a bottom “crust” and don’t spread it up the sides
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Filling:
- 2 cans less 1/2 cup of organic pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup super soft pitted Medjool dates
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup almond milk, homemade or clean ingredient store-bought
- 2 tsp vanilla powder or alcohol-free vanilla extract
- 1 TBSP + 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- optional, tiny pinch of sea salt
Method
- Add the almonds to the food processor first. Pulse just a few times – just enough so that there are still almond chunks/pieces and it’s not finely ground. Add the rest of the crust ingredients to the food processor. Pulse a bit first and then blend until combined (well enough). Stop and scrape down the sides as needed. There will be pieces of nuts throughout; if needed add in a TBSP of water to help it along. It will be an extra thick mixture.
- Grease a large glass pie dish with coconut oil. Spread out the crust in the dish using your hands.
- Add all filling ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. It’s somewhat of a pain to get it to blend until creamy, but it works with time. I use the Vitamix tamper to help it along.
- Pour the filling into the crust.
- Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours prior to serving. I’ll even put it in the freezer if I don’t have fridge room and then just let it sit out for 30 minutes prior to serving.
- Cut into thin slices and enjoy every bite of the deliciousness.
