- Meanwhile, grease a 1.4L, 19cm (base measurement) pie plate. Spread oats and pepitas over second tray. Bake, stirring once, for 7-8 minutes or until golden. Cool. Process in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add dates, water and remaining oil. Process until well combined. Press over base and side of plate. Place in the fridge for 1 hour or until firm.
- Process pumpkin until smooth. Slowly whisk cornflour and coconut milk in a saucepan until smooth. Stir in pumpkin, maple syrup, cinnamon, mixed spice and salt. Cook, stirring, over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes or until boiling and thickened. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Spread over crust. Smooth surface. Place in the fridge for 8 hours to set. Top with coconut cream, cinnamon and extra maple syrup, if using.
