Ingredients:

•     1 9 1/2-inch whole wheat or gluten-free baked pie shell (or your favorite raw crust)
•     1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
•     1 tbsp. chopped crystallized ginger
•     1 cup raw cashew pieces, soaked for a few hours, rinsed and drained
•     1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
•     1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. coconut butter
•     1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. water
•     1/4 cup non-dairy milk
•     1 Tbsp. maca powder
•     1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
•     1 tsp. vanilla-flavored stevia liquid
•     1 tsp. cinnamon
•     1/2 tsp. powdered ginger
•     pinch allspice
•     Whipped coconut cream, for topping, optional

Preparation:

In a small bowl combine the toasted coconut and the crystallized ginger. Set aside.   Put the cashews, pumpkin puree, coconut butter, water, non-dairy milk, maca powder, ginger, stevia, and spices in a high-speed blender and process until very smooth.  Scrape about half of the cashew-pumpkin mixture into the pie crust and smooth. Sprinkle the toasted coconut/ginger over top and carefully add the remaining cashew-pumpkin mixture over top. Spread until even and smooth.  Chill for several hours or until firm. Cut into slices and serve with whipped coconut cream.
