It’s so good you may never return to another pie. 

First, let’s navigate the how to then, below, the recipe cards are for quick reference.

Crust

Put 2 cups of cashews in the Vitamix and blend until finely ground. If you do not have a Vitamix cashew butter is just as good. Add one egg, 3 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla to the cashew mix and blend until smooth. Turn the mixture out into the pie pan and stir in 1/4 cup of finely ground coconut flour. 

After the mixture is fully blended press it into the pie pan until it covers the pan. Decorative topping can be made with your fingertips at the top of the pie pan.

After the pie crust is ready prepare the pumpkin mixture. 

Pumpkin Pie Filling

In the Vitamix blend until smooth 15 ounces of pumpkin (we have tested Pie Pumpkin vs Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins here), 4 ounces of kefir made from cream (click here to learn about kefir), 4 tablespoons pastured butter, 2 pastured eggs, 4 pastured yolks, a half cup of honey, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 3 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and 2 teaspoons nutmeg.  Pour this blended mixture into the pie shell and cook at 350 degrees and for one hour or until the topped is cracked showing it is cooked.
