This pumpkin pie is bursting with nutritious ingredients! The crust is made from a combination of nuts, dates, and coconut. The filling gets it creaminess from cashews. An assortment of earthy spices, including ground cloves, cinnamon, and allspice can be tasted in every bite. Organic pumpkin and carrots round out the nutritious line-up.
