In a cupcake pan, with paper liners, add about 1 ½ Tbsp of crust mixture to each cupcake liner. This recipe will make 4 to 5 cupcake sized pumpkin pie tartlets. Set cupcake pan in the freezer
In a medium bowl, Blend all filling ingredients, pumpkin puree, unsweetened almond milk. banana, Medjool dates, pure vanilla extract, ground cloves and pumpkin pie spice
Remove the crusts from the freezer and filling to each one. Pop back in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes
As a fun option, you can top these with coconut cream from a can. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
*Can be substituted for soaked cashews.
**Substitute 3 drops vanilla crème liquid stevia
The most optimal amount of time to soak dates, cashews & almonds is overnight or for 4 hours- although not necessary for these to be AMAZING. What happens when you soak them, is that it makes it easier for your body to digest and will make them smoother and creamier.
There will also be leftover filling- so you can either double the crust recipe or… OR! You can make pumpkin nice-cream. I did actually do a very thorough taste test of this particular method – just add 2 additional bananas to the puree and freeze overnight, giving it a quick stir before you go to sleep.
Miraculously, there is no evidence of this as I did quite enjoy the nice-cream with a cup of coffee in the morning.
