Ingredients
  • Crust
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 8 dates, pitted
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil, softened
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Filling
  • ¾ cup pumpkin purée [not pumpkin pie filling which has added sugar and spices]
  • ½ cup dates [about 12 dates], softened [soaked in hot water for 5-10 mins]
  • 3 Tbsp coconut oil, softened
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves
  • ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
  1. Crust
  2. To food processor, add walnuts and pulse until walnuts are finely ground.
  3. Next, add all remaining crust ingredienst and pulse until mixture is combined and forms a “dough.” The mixture should stay together when pressed between your fingers.
  4. Using a small scoop, scoop crust mixture into mini muffin tin molds.
  5. Using hands, press crust firmly into molds.
  6. You should make about 20 mini crusts.
  7. Place in refrigerator or freezer to set up while you make the filling.
  8. Rinse out food processor so you can use it to make the filling.
  9. Filling
  10. Add dates to food processor and pulse until dates are broken up. Scrape down the sides of the food processor.
  11. Add all remaining filling ingredients and process until all ingredients are combined and mixture becomes smooth (there will still be some small bits of date throughout, and that’s okay).
  12. You’ll need to wipe down the sides of the food processor with a spatula a few times between processing to make sure your filling is all combined.
  13. Using a small scoop, add filling to crust molds and using a spoon or your fingers, spread the filling out evenly.
  14. Place in refrigerate of freezer for a few hours to set up.
  15. To remove, use a knife and gently loosen the crust from the molds.
  16. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week and freezer for a few months. Serve chilled.
  17. Enjoy!
