Summary: Don’t want to waste the leftovers from this year’s Halloween pumpkin? When hollowing the pumpkin discard the stringy part in the centre where the seeds are, but keep the solid flesh for making the pie. The result is a deliciously moist, seasonally spiced dessert.

Halloween Pumpkin 2009 Pumpkin Pie Adding the topping to the base

Ingredients

  • 2 cups soaked almonds
  • 1 1/2 cup dates
  • 2 cups raw pumpkin (the solid flesh rather than the stringy part in the centre) or butternut squash

  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Make the crust by grinding the almonds and 1/2 a cup of dates in your food processor.
  2. Press the ground mixture into the bottom of a small baking dish or appropriately sized bowl.

  4. Smooth the resulting mixture on top of the crust.
  5. Cover and place in the fridge for a couple of hours to chill.

Preparation time: 15 minutes, + soaking and chilling time
