Since when is pumpkin puree raw?
Shari – it can very well be raw if you put the pumpkin into a food processor and puree it. It does not have to be cooked :-).
This looks great. Would this recipe work just as well with cooked pumpkin puree?
The pumpkin is pre-cooked, it’s just that the pie is not (meaning raw), so you can definitely use cooked pumpkin. ~ Jen HB Support
lovely recipe, thanks. I love pumpkin.
Just to clarify, the pie is served cold but not frozen, correct? And does it have a strong coconut flavor?
Can you get pumpkin spice in UK if not what is the recipe
This is a recipe I’ve used before: 1 tsp ground cardamom, 1 tsp ground allspice, 1 tsp ground cloves, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 2 tsp ground ginger,
Mix spices together in a small bowl.
