Ingredients
- CRUST:
- 1 cup packed Medjool dates pitted
- 1 1/4 cups raw walnuts
- 1 Tbsp orange juice
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 3 Tbsp almond flour
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp Organic Super Shake (Vanilla)
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 Tbsp orange zest
- FILLING:
- 1 1/2 cups Raw Cashews (soaked in hot water for 1 hour)
- 2 Tbsp orange juice
- 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk or cream
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil (sub melted)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (nutmeg, clove, ginger, cinnamon)
- 1/2 tsp Golden Milk Super Blend
- 1 tsp Organic Super Shake (Vanilla)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- Cover cashews with boiling water and let sit for 1 hour. Drain well and set aside.
- Add walnuts to a food processor and pulse until small bits remain.
- Add dates and process again until small bits remain.
- Add shredded coconut, almond flour, orange juice, ground ginger, nutmeg, Organic Super Shake (Vanilla), orange zest, salt and process everything together until loose dough* forms - it should stick together when you press between your fingers. Set aside.
- Use a muffin pan. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the muffin pan. Press the plastic wrap into each muffin form. (You can also just use cupcake liners.)
- Divide crust evenly to fill muffin forms and press down with fingers to evenly distribute. Wet your fingers with water if it’s too sticky. Set in freezer.
- Add soaked cashews to a power blender with remaining filling ingredients and puree until very smooth - 2-3 minutes. If it has trouble blending add a touch more coconut milk.
- Divide filling evenly into muffin forms. Fill to the top. Tap a few times to release any air bubbles, freeze until firm, about 4-6 hours.
- Once set, gently remove by pulling out the plastic wrap. If they aren't quite set, put back in the freezer until firm.
- Top them with coconut whipped cream, dried, sugared or fresh orange slices and sprinkle with chopped pumpkin seeds and pumpkin pie spice.
- Best enjoyed within the first 3-4 days. Let thaw at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
*If too crumbly, add a date or two. If too sticky, add more crushed walnuts.
