    Marbled No-Bake Pumpkin Pie (Grain-Free and Vegan)

    Some ladies go ga-ga for flowers, or a box of fancy chocolates. Some like sparkly hand bags (they're not called purses anymore – I just learned that). Some will swoon over a pair of designer shoes, or a fine piece of jewelry stashed in a velvet box.

    But to me, few things say "I love you" more than an industrial food processor or heavy duty stand mixer. I'll take the steel of a good chef's knife over gold or platinum any day – though I'm equally happy with a set of vintage silver flatware, or perhaps some BPA-free polycarbonate.

    nuts in blender
     crust mix

    I'm currently head-over-heels for our new blender. We'd been muddling along with an avocado-green number from several decades ago, which served us well for making our favorite nutritional yeast vinaigrette, but couldn't handle anything more serious than a few garlic cloves and some liquids. We consulted the kitchen oracle, Cook's Illustrated, for blender advice and ordered the model rated on par with the VitaMix but with a smaller price tag. Our new baby is sleek and cute, and it's been a champ so far, churning out kale smoothies every morning, almond milk every few days, and four batches of this pumpkin tart. (I had to get it just right, you know?)

    pie crust

    This tart was inspired by a few different sources: a raw pumpkin pie I tried at Cafe Gratitude many years ago, and Comfy Belly's Raw Chocolate Cheesecake. I wanted it to look as pretty as the Marbled Pumpkin Gingersnap Tart in The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. So I made something up, and tweaked it three times to get the flavor and texture just so.

    nuts in blender
    liquid in jug

    I start with a crust of pecans, almonds, coconut oil and maple syrup. A hit of salt gives the crust a crack-like addictiveness, and ginger and cinnamon add warmth. I found that toasting the nuts lightly makes the crust infinitely more flavorful.

    The filling begins with a cashew cream flavored with vanilla, a bit of salt, and maple syrup. Melted coconut oil, which is solid when chilled, sets the tart to a slice-able consistency. Before adding butternut squash puree, carrot juice (to give the tart a brighter hue), and spices, I set aside some cashew cream to swirl into the top of the tart. A combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and fresh ginger give the filling a classic taste which, it you're like me, will bring on a flood of positive Thanksgiving dessert memories.

    pie filling

    I doubt that anyone would suspect this dessert of being free from dairy, gluten, eggs, and refined sugars. Thanks
    to modern appliances, the filling is silky smooth – light and dense at
    the same time, like a good cheesecake or a thick whipped cream.

    A few things worth mentioning: Cafe Gratitude's original recipe calls for raw, grated pumpkin, but I prefer to roast and puree my own butternut squash, as butternuts tend to have more consistent flavor, and the thought of eating raw squash gives me the willies. I've given directions on how to do this in the headnote below. If you're not already a squash puree-maker, know that the process is simple. Most of the time is hands-off while the squash bakes and then cools, and extra puree can be refrigerated or frozen for future use.

    top down shot of pie

    Also, for this kind of dessert, it's important not to over-process the filling once the coconut oil has been added, since this can cause the coconut oil to solidify into tiny, white speckles. If this happens, the dessert will still taste fine, but it will look grainy and curdled rather than silky smooth. To avoid this fate, work quickly once you've added the oil, and blend just enough to combine. I like to stir together the squash puree, carrot juice, and spices separately to minimize the blending time.

    Jay insists that this is the best dessert he's had in a long time, though he admits that his nostalgic soft spot for pumpkin desserts may have something to do with it. Clearly, the way to a man's heart is through his pumpkin dessert stomach.

    And though the way to mine may be through a workhorse of a kitchen appliance, I still wouldn't turn my nose up at a bouquet of tulips or two..

    No-Bake Pumpkin Tart {vegan, paleo, raw-ish}

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    Prep Time: 40 minutes
    Chilling time: 4 hours
    Total: 4 hours 40 minutes
    Servings: 8 to 10 servings (makes one 9-inch tart)

    Ingredients

    "Gingersnap" Crust:

    • 2 1/2 cups (270 g) raw or lightly toasted pecans, walnuts, or other nuts (or a combination)
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (1 ounce/30 ml)
    • 1 tablespoon melted extra-virgin coconut oil (.5 ounces/15 ml)

    Marbled Pumpkin Filling:

    • 1 cup (120 g) raw cashews, covered in cool water and soaked 4-12 hours
    • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (105 g) maple syrup
    • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (90 ml) water
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons ( g) melted and warm extra-virgin coconut oil (5 ounces/150 ml)
    • 1 1/4 cup (? g) roasted, pureed butternut squash (8 ounces/230 grams)
    • 1/4 cup carrot juice (or more water) (2 ounces/60 ml)
    • 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
    • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

    Instructions

    Make the crust:

    • In the body of a blender or food processor, pulse together the pecans, almonds, ginger, cinnamon and salt until the nuts are finely ground (but not becoming nut butter). Drizzle over the maple syrup and coconut oil, then pulse just until the mixture begins to clump together.
    • Dump the crust mixture onto a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Use moistened fingers to press the crust squarely up the sides and into the bottom of the pan. Freeze the crust while you prepare the filling.

    Make the filling:

    • Wipe out the blender (or food processor) body, and add the soaked and drained cashews, maple syrup, and salt. Pulse until the cashews are ground. Add the water and vanilla extract, and blend on high speed until the mixture is silky smooth, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Add the melted coconut oil and blend until just until combined. Remove 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the cashew cream and set aside for the swirl.
    • To the blender, add the squash puree, carrot juice, grated ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Blend on low just until combined.

    Assemble the tart:

    • Remove the crust from the freezer, and place on a platter or rimmed baking sheet for easy maneuverability.
    • Pour the squash mixture into the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the reserved cashew cream onto the surface of the tart. Use a chopstick, toothpick, or the tip of a paring knife to gently swirl the mixture. Be careful not to over-swirl, or you will lose the definition of the swirls.
    • Chill the tart until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to a day or two. If you're in a hurry, or if the tart is too soft to slice cleanly, place it in the freezer for a stint. (But defrost before serving.)
    • To serve, place the tart on a large can or an inverted ramekin. Gently east off the sides of the pan, taking care not to break the crust. Use a large, sharp chef's knife, wiped clean between cuts, to cut the tart into wedges.

    Notes

    To make your own squash puree:
    I use homemade butternut squash puree in the filling, as the flavor is more clean and fresh than the canned stuff. To make butternut puree, cut a butternut squash (or other winter squash) in half lengthwise. Leave the seeds in (they're easier to scrape out post-baking) and place the squash halves cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF until the squash is soft and collapsing, about 45 minutes. Let cool enough to handle, scrape out the strings and seeds and discard. Scrape out the flesh, discarding the skin, and puree in a blender or food processor until silky smooth. The puree will keep in the fridge for up to several days, or it can be frozen for future uses. 
    This recipe has several steps – making the squash puree, soaking the cashews, toasting and cooling the nuts (optional), and chilling the assembled tart for several hours – so you'll want to begin this project a day ahead or early in the day. The tart keeps well airtight and refrigerated for three or four days, and the flavor only improves. It can also be wrapped snugly and frozen; defrost before serving.
    I prefer the flavor of lightly toasted nuts in the crust, though if you prefer to go raw, or are short on time, you can skip this step. To toast the nuts, place the pecans and almonds on a smallish, rimmed baking sheet and toast in a 325ºF oven or toaster oven until fragrant and slightly darkened. Do make sure they're completely cool before proceeding, lest you end up with steamy nut butter.
    All ounce measurements are by weight.
    Nutritional values are based on one of eight servings.

    "Gingersnap" Crust:
    1 1/2 cups (5.75 ounces/160 grams) pecan halves
    3/4 cup (2.75 ounces/80 grams) sliced almonds
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
    2 tablespoons (1 ounce/30 ml) maple syrup
    1 tablespoon (.5 ounces/15 ml) melted extra-virgin coconut oil

    Marbled Pumpkin Filling:
    3/4 cups (4 ounces/115 grams) cashews, covered in cool water and soaked 4-12 hours
    1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (3 ounces/90 ml) maple syrup
    1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
    1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (3 ounces/90 ml) water
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (5 ounces/150 ml) melted and warm extra-virgin coconut oil
    1 cup (8 ounces/230 grams) roasted, pureed butternut squash
    1/4 cup (2 ounces/60 ml) carrot juice

With the motor running, pour in the melted coconut oil; mix just until combined. Remove 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the cashew cream and set aside for the swirl.

        I think that would work fine! Just be sure to defrost it in enough time. It'll probably take a day in the fridge. Let me know how you like it. :)

      hello! I stumbled across this amazing recipe looking for a yummy raw pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving this week! I don't have a juicer though and wondering if I could just omit the carrot juice? Would that totally mess up the recipe? This looks delicious, can't wait to try it!!

        Hi! You could always purchase carrot juice, or you could trade it out for a bit of water or nut milk. One reader made it with orange juice and liked it! Let me know what you end up trying. :)

    Fresh on TBG: GF Rhubarb Cake with Almond Flour & Fresh on TBG: GF Rhubarb Cake with Almond Flour & Olive Oil
✨
I don't remember tasting rhubarb until I moved from the LA area up to Northern California for college. There I fell in love with the tart stalks. Luckily for me, I also fell in love with a guy who's mom grows loads of rhubarb in her yard! We went to visit last weekend and came home with bags full of rhubarb and plump Meyer lemons from Mary's abundant garden. Just the ingredients needed to make this cake! 
✨
This GF rhubarb cake tastes like spring on a plate: redolent with the flavors of almond, olive oil, bright citrus, and tangy rhubarb. It looks deceptively fancy, with slices of pink-hued stalks arranged in concentric circles. But don't be fooled: the batter comes together with just a bowl and a whisk in a matter of minutes.
✨
If you don't have any rhubarb on hand, don't fret: swap in other fruit such as fresh or frozen berries, cherries, peaches, or anything else you like. 
✨
This recipe uses the GF flours almond, oat, sweet rice, and millet. I’ve also tested a grain-free version with almond, cassava, and tapioca flours that works beautifully. Make it DF by using plant yogurt.

    My favorite GF DF carrot cake, now with a nut-free My favorite GF DF carrot cake, now with a nut-free paleo variation!
🥕 
I was craving this fluffy, springy, gently-spiced carrot cake the other day, so I tested a grain-free and naturally-sweetened version. It’s pretty tasty, and it also happens to be kosher for Passover! 
🥕
Now you can make this elevated classic with a gluten-free flour blend (sweet rice, oat, millet, and tapioca flours) or go grain-free with cassava and coconut flours. Either way, this beauty comes together in minutes with one bowl and a spatula, and it bakes up with a pillowy and tender crumb. 
🥕
Make it in a 9-inch round pan for a single layer cake, or double or triple the recipe for more layers. Or use a square or rectangular pan for sheet cake. Gussy it up with rainbow carrot ribbons, or drizzle with maple or honey on top. 
🥕
I’ve linked to my traditional less-sweet cream cheese frosting in the post, as well as a vegan cream cheese frosting recipe that I make with @miyokoscreamery plant-based butter and cream cheese. Or you can go paleo and top it with whipped coconut cream or thick coconut yogurt. Feel free to add any carrot cake mix-ins you like – pineapple, raisins, shredded coconut, or toasted nuts.

While I didn’t grow up in a religious family, I loved putting together this roundup of sweet treats that happen to be kosher for Passover. I don’t know if it’s the pandemic, my age (I’ll be 40 this year!😳) or following such inspiring Jewish foodies (Jewdies?) as @jakecohen, @zenbelly, @whatjewwannaeat, @predominantly_paleo , and @estherandloretta , among others, but I’ve been feeling super nostalgic for Jewish cuisine lately.
✨
Also, I had no idea how complicated the rules of Passover really are! I knew that wheat and yeasted baked goods were strictly verboten, in order to honor the hardship of our people traversing the dessert without time to stop and let their bread rise. But I didn’t realize that certain groups observe stricter rules, avoiding all foods that even *look* like grains, such as beans, legumes, and even cardamom! 
✨
I even asked you all in my stories to weigh in on the heated debate about baking soda and baking powder. Apparently they are *technically* kosher for Passover according to the letter of the law, even though I and many others always thought they were to be avoided. 
✨
Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you go meshuga for these recipes! A few favorites: 

1. GF Vegan Chocolate Tahini Tart
2. Brown Butter Macaroons
3. Vegan Key Lime Pie
4. Paleo Crepes
5. Pot De Creme
6. Almond Poppy Seed Eton Mess
7. No-Bake Brownie Ice Cream Sandos
