    Instructions

    Pre-soak raw cashew nuts for at least 6 hours, and drain.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. In a food process with an S-shape slicer, pulse until very creamy the cashew nut, avocado, sugar, and vanilla extract.
    Scoop out the creamy mixture into a large bowl, add pumpkin, and mix with a large spoon. Taste the mixture to see if it is sweet enough - add more sugar if desired. Add chocolate chips, and mix.
    Pour mixture into a readymade pie crust. Place pie in oven and cook for 35 minutes. Enjoy warm or cold.
    The pie is soft like a pumpkin pudding pie, and it's very delicious.

      I made this pie for my friend who is a vegan but very intolerant to soy - whichis a problem because almost all vegan pumpkin pie recipes available use TOFU. I tried using avocado with cashew, and it came out totally delicious. It's soft like puddling. If you want to make it firm, add 2 teaspoons of arrowroot or some kind of thickener. ENJOY.
