For the pine nuts layer

150 grams of silken tofu

3 large and sweet dates

1/4 cup of any plant based milk

1/4 tea spoon vanilla extract

Ginger (to taste)

Warm up your oven to 165C/325F.

Grind pine nuts, cashews and oats. Should be even flour-like consistency.

Add dates and oil.

Should be soft and and slightly sticky.

Spread it evenly in your pie shell.

Make your pumpkin layer by using all ingredients for it.

Should be smooth, then add spices.

Poor over the base then it’s time to make pine nut cream.

Combine all remaining ingredients for it and pour it over the pumpkin cream.

Place it in the oven for at least 35 minutes.

Ready when the edges get a bit darker color and the cream looks thickened. Ready!

Let it cool down and serve! It’s beautiful, it’s healthy and yummy!
