I thought the juice would give a much more concentrated pumpkin flavor, as well as color, without changing the texture to much. I feel like blended flesh would be less flavorful (when raw) and have a rougher texture than blended cashews. Hope that helps!

This looks amazing! I’m excited to try. This is the first raw pumpkin pie recipe I’ve come across using juiced pumpkin- can you elaborate as to the benefits of doing this, as opposed to simply using the pumpkin flesh? Many thanks!

I made this pie and it was awesome! The only change was accidental – I had so much fun throwing things into the food processor for the crust that I accidentally threw in the pre-soaked cashews! {Which was a complete accident, as I make raw crusts often} The crust still turned out – and tasted – fine, just a bit richer than usual. Also, since the crust needed to freeze before I added the filling, I had plenty of time to pre-soak more cashews. Win-win!

I use turmeric in a lot of our food, so I may cut back a little on how much I add to the filling next time. And oh yes, there will be a next time.

Also, Nina’s been imbibing fresh pumpkin juice all week. She’ll be as orange as that pumpkin was before long. :D

Thanks for posting such a fabulous recipe!

@ Minna – LOVE those pictures! Especially the exploding overflowing bread dough (right?) Looks soooo good. And yeah, it’s pretty amazing how far a pumpkin will go, isn’t it?

Thanks so much for sharing. And I’m so glad you liked the pie! =D

Our pumpking-weekend was so much fun! Everyone *loved* your pumpkin pie :) And I even found agave in the end – it’s soo delicious, but unfortunately really expensive over here.

We started with a delicious roasted pumpkin and chickpea soup: http://healthyrecipesgalore.blogspot.com/2008/02/roasted-pumpkin-and-chickpea-soup.html and my boyfriend’s sister baked tons of pumpkin bread in the end, because we had *so* much pumpkin left! Unbelievable!

Here are some photos of the pumpkin madness: http://picasaweb.google.com/minnatoots/Korvitsategu?fgl=true&pli=1#

Again, thanks so much for the pumpkin pie recipe! It really was so great (and healthy) =)
