For the crust:
-
Pulse the nuts, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until crumbly.
-
Add the dates one at a time while continuing to pulse until the dates are finely chopped in with the nuts.
-
The mixture should hold together when you press it between your fingers.
-
In a pie pan, press the nut and date mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
-
Put the crust in the freezer while making the filling.
-
In a small bowl place the gelatin or arrowroot in and mix with a couple tablespoons of the coconut milk and let sit.
-
Place all the other ingredients in the food processor and run until smooth (this would make a great smoothie too).
-
Pour the pumpkin mixture into a small sauce pan and warm over medium low heat.
-
Add the hardened gelatin or the arrowroot slurry to the pumpkin, mix with a whisk, and cook over medium heat until dissolved (about 5-10 minutes).
-
Cool for a couple of minutes. (you could now just chill the mixture overnight in the fridge and have pumpkin pudding)
-
Remove the crust from the freezer and add the cooled pumpkin mixture.
-
Put in the fridge and let set overnight.
