Raw Pumpkin Pie from RawGuru

We wanted to make a raw pumpkin pie. We found two raw pumpkin pie recipes one from rawguru and one from fullyraw.  We are making them both and comparing them. Thanking Courtney again for assisting us with this pie!!!!
This one will be less sweet due to only using 15 dates plus a banana instead of 3 pounds of dates but  has more fat with the coconut, cashews, and cacao butter. We are using a white Cinderella pie pumpkin for both.
We made a few minor changes cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips and lucuma powder instead of mesquite.
